Anse Madge
Anse Madge is a small beach located in the southeast of the Seychelles larger island Praslin. As compared to the other beach, this beach is basically meant to the local fishermen, that means, spotting tourists is rare here.
The water here is rather deep along with plants on the seabed and people can witness seaweed here floating in the water or maybe on the sandy surface. All these conditions make it unpleasant to swim or doing other activities.
Like many other Seychelles beaches, there is nothing to do here on the Anse Madge, as said before the beach doesn’t serve much for its visitors, it is simply called a fisherman’s bay. The only thing that can be spotted here is the local fishermen who left their boat here on the shore.
