Anse Consolation
Anse Consolation is a small and unique beach, located on the southernmost coastline of Praslin. It is not so busy beach because it is having lack of swimming possibility due to so shallow water surface to bathe in too.
The bay is protected by rocks and the coral reefs, so safe for families visiting the bay. The coral reef present here on the beach gives a unique look, making it a great spot for photographers.
People visit here to relax on the beautiful sand and under the shade of the trees lined here. This is because the bay doesn’t offer activities to its visitors like swimming or snorkeling due to the rock formations and shallow water.
Getting to the beach is very easy with the bus as there is a bus stop next to the beach and there is also limited parking next to the road, so coming by car can be problematic. While in terms of accommodation, there are many small houses and guesthouse nearby.
Anse Consolation can be a good spot for picnic, games or sunbathe and to the people who are searching for a calm and quiet atmosphere to relax. The coral pools on the beach are great for children to discover some of the fauna that lives on the Seychelles beaches.
The unique, beautiful scenery of the beach is really different that we found on the other Seychelles beaches. Great place to take photographs, relax while listening busking waves coming from the Indian Ocean lapping at the shore.
