Anse Volbert Beach
Anse Volbert Beach
Praslin Island Resplendent with exotic birds and trees, this crescent-shaped two-mile beach is still pristine.
Attraction type: Beach
Anse Volbert is about 2,5km long and lies in a large bay with various hotels along the coastline. Only a few Vouloutye bushes and coconut palms shade this fine sand and generally flat beach. Some of the natural coastal vegetation has been cleared off by tourism establishments, causing erosion as a result. Swimming is ideal all year round, however during the southeast monsoon from May to October the sea can be rough. Anse Volbert offers a panoramic view of the islets Chauve Souris, Buccaneer, St. Pierre as well as the islands Curieuse and Cousine. Curieuse and St. Pierre are part of Curieuse Marine National Park and offer excellent snorkelling.
