An integral part of the World's Best Beaches list, Anse Lazio is probably the most famous beach in the Seychelles. This long stretch of continuous white sand is surrounded by impressive granite rocks and clean water with a beautiful blue colour. With the sun, the beach takes on wonderful colours. Bright green vegetation is the background and contrast to the white of the beach and the blue of the sea, giving the landscape the classic image of a tropical paradise. Unlike most beaches on the island, this unique spot invites both swimming and snorkelling, as the coral reefs are on the sides of the bay leaving the middle of the bay for swimming.
