The beach

Anse Marie-Louise is a bay on Praslin's south-eastern tip, a short distance along the coast from Anse Consolation. Le Château de Feuilles, the hotel at Pointe Cabris, describes it as a white, fine-sand beach a few minutes' walk from the property and a peaceful place to swim. The hotel also says water temperatures in the Seychelles often reach 27°C, with visibility often above 30 m.

Praslin's Anse Marie-Louise shares its name with a beach on Mahé, so check which one a description refers to. Little is published about parking, bus stops, facilities, currents or seasonal seaweed on the Praslin beach.

Before you go

If you are staying nearby, ask your accommodation about the path down, the state of the tide and whether seaweed has built up. For anyone exploring the south coast, combine a visit with Anse Consolation, which lies a short way to the south-west and has a bus stop beside it.
