Port Glaud - all beaches

We visited another lovely beach on Mahe, but unfortunately, we didn't get to witness a sunset due to bad timing.

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.

This vast expanse of sandy beach is a tranquil haven with limited crowds, making it perfect for a peaceful swim. However, it may not be the best spot for snorkeling enthusiasts.

This stretch of coastline boasts pristine, ivory sand and exceptional opportunities for snorkeling. Without a doubt, Port Launay is the ultimate beach destination in Mahe. Even when the weather takes a turn, this little slice of paradise remains sheltered from the elements, with dark storm clouds lingering in the distant hills. Experience the natural beauty of this idyllic spot and revel in the tranquility of its micro-climate.

We recently went to the last beach on the island and we were glad we only stayed for 2 hours. It's definitely not as great as people say it is. Maybe it used to be amazing, but now it's too commercialized and crowded. When we were there, there was a lot of seaweed and the water wasn't clear. If I were you, I would either skip it completely or just go for a walk around sunset, which was truly breathtaking.

This minuscule stretch of sand may appear picturesque, but don't be fooled by its size. Our group was ferried in by boat for a lunch break, but I couldn't help but feel underwhelmed. Sure, the rocks were nice to look at, but the beach itself was nothing to write home about. The only saving grace was the fact that it was a quick stop on our boat trip.
