User reviews
"This beach in Praslin is not as popular as the other Grand Anse beaches on the three islands. It had a lot of weeds, but the vegetation on the outer part was good. Nearby, there is a pizza place called Island Pizzeria. The part of Grand Anse across from the pizzeria is much better than the actual Grand Anse beach area. However, there isn't much to do here."

"The beach was lovely and perfect for a stroll and snapping some pictures. Unfortunately, the ocean was quite choppy, making it impossible to go for a swim."
