Although it may not be the most picturesque beach on Mahé, it is undoubtedly the finest due to the refreshing river that flows into it. Moreover, it is accessible to the public free of charge. Although the hike to reach it is strenuous, the effort is worthwhile, and the scenery is awe-inspiring.

This beach in Mahe is definitely one of the best. The hiking trail is a must-do, as it takes you through a beautiful natural forest and offers breathtaking views of the ocean and Silhouette island. Plus, it's great that this beach has free public entry.

A leisurely stroll from Danzil's last bus stop, bus 21, leads to a well-marked path offering breathtaking vistas of the ocean. The beach, which we discovered upon arriving, was a sight to behold, complete with a sea turtle basking in the sun.

This charming beach with stunning views and a picturesque trail that leads you right to it. The path is well-marked and easy to navigate, making it a breeze to arrive within an hour. Once there, you'll be greeted by crystal clear waters and an abundance of marine life. Don't forget to bring your snorkeling gear, as the fish playing amongst the underwater rocks are a sight to behold.
