Beach overall scores
Anse St. Jose Beach (Seychelles) is located outside the Anse Boudin 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 Curieuse island and the correct question is not how to get to Anse St. Jose Beach, but what mode of transport can be used to get to it, because this part of the coast is inaccessible by land. The beach can only be reached by water and you have to rent a boat to get there.
User reviews
"Visiting Curieuse Island is a great day trip from Praslin. If you book it with one of the locals on the beach, you can get a much better price than with a travel agency. You can start by seeing the big and small turtles, then take a 1.7km walk through the mangrove, where you can spot turtles, birds, crabs, and other small animals. The view of Anse St Jose is stunning."

"The water was teeming with fish, easily visible without any special equipment. We even brought some bread to attract even more! We were lucky enough to spot a starfish near the shore, making it a great spot for snorkeling. Plus, the view was simply stunning."
