Anse Kerlan
The beach of Anse Kerlan stretches from the small village Amitie
to the granit rock formation Pointe Ste. Marie. The sandy beach is as powder fine
and white as everywhere on Praslin. An offshore reef protects Anse Kerlan
from high waves; here and there some breakwaters or giant granit boulders
characteristic of the Seychelles split the long beach. The water is quite
shallow, making Anse Kerlan an ideal location for families with children.
On the weekends many locals enjoy a day on the beach at Anse Kerlan.
Swimming is possible throughout the year. During the summer months an
increased growth of seaweed can occur on the west coast. Due to the current
leading out to the open sea, Anse Kerlan
is normally not affected. Day-to-day the beach offers spectacular sunsets
with the islands Mahé, Cousin, Cousine and Silhouette as scenery. Anse Kerlan
is one of the quitest beaches on Praslin with only a few accommodation
facilities. The nearby airport is no disturbance.
