Anse Lazio
Anse Lazio is a beautiful beach in the world that includes the unique combination of pristine gold sand, crystal clear water and striking granite formations. It is one of the busier beaches on the Seychelles second largest island, Praslin.
There is an area of swimming which is protected by the net, that keeps fish and other creatures away from the swimmer. Moreover, the lifeguards are always on the duty, so that visitors feel safe in the water.
Getting to the beach is easier by car and there is three parking areas just behind the tree line, near to the beach. The bus stop is little bit far away from the beach. Whereas, some of the hotels do offer transport services to the Anse Lazio.
There are few restaurants and small shops where people can enjoy lunch or dinner, also there is a Honesty Bar where is no waiters, waitresses or barmen. The brand that customers opt for have to pay for what they took.
Anse Lazio has the crystal clear water so the beach is also excellent for snorkeling and it is well suited for the families and friends. Also, there is a sufficient place for children to play on the large sandy area. On the other hand the water gets deep quickly, so children and unconfident swimmers should stay in the designated area.
