Anse L’Ilot
Anse L’Ilot is located in the north west of the Seychelles in the large island Mahé. It is a real hidden treasure, that is actually difficult to spot from the road.
The water is fairly shallow and calm and better to visit at the tide of the low tide as, the beach often gets disappear at high tide, and it is completely submerged by the Indian Ocean water.
May find very few visitors at this beach and the bay often remains empty. So the person who likes a peaceful atmosphere will love to visit this place.
People visit here for swimming, snorkeling, taking pictures and enjoying a picnic with their family and friends. Couples who want to spend time with each other can relax on the sand.
It has shallow water, so safe for children (June and September) under the supervision of their parents because there is a drop-off 50 m from the shore. The bay is lack of coral reef so in winter it becomes choppy and the waves also get taller.
While the visitors can relax under the shades of palm and coconut trees, but, better to keep an eye on falling coconuts because it can be dangerous. The Anse L’Itol beach offers plenty of stunning scenery and facilities to the visitors.
A few meters away there is a spa and restaurant too at Bliss Hotel along with some small shops next to the road. So can say that it is a worth visiting here at the beach if people could find it.
