Sitting right in front of the Emerald Cove Hotel on the island of Praslin, Anse La Farine is a small but beautiful beach that receives few visitors besides those staying at the hotel.

The water is quite calm and shallow, making it suitable for swimmers of most levels and ideal for snorkeling, kayaking, and windsurfing. However, the sand sometimes disappears at high tide, so it's advisable to check the tide charts before planning a visit. The only way to access the beach is by boat; a boat sometimes runs between the beach and the hotel, but private transportation can also be arranged. Anse La Farine Map
