Beach overall scores
Anu Paul Beach (Seychelles) is located outside the Port Launay settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the coast of the Mahé Island, but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"The sunset view from the vantage point above the beach is absolutely breathtaking, as captured in the video."
Ethan Anderson
"It may be a bit challenging to reach, but it can be done within an hour round trip, even in flip flops. The effort is definitely worth it, as there are days when no one visits the beach all day long."
