"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."
Natalya Bozhilovski
"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."
