ANSE LASCARS
Beach in the east of Silhouette
The beach of Anse Lascars on the east side of the third largest Seychelles island Silhouette is reached by a footpath from La Passe. The sandy beach, on which there are many shells and corals, is famous for the fact that behind it lie a few old graves in which are believed to be buried thirty Arab sailors who sailed their dhow here long before the settlement of the Island Shipwrecked.
The sea is deep at high tide with high waves. Swimming is possible with caution at low tide. The ground in the water is rocky and sharp, so water shoes are recommended.
At this beach, a real Robinson Crusoe feeling comes up, as one is mostly alone.
Directions:
From the port, head southeast past the La Belle Tortue Hotel and follow the road around the Marsh (lake).
To the right there is a small path that leads to the Dauban Mausoleum, where you can find some endemic plants. (The path meets the road again further south).
The direct way to the dream beach is via a tarred road.
Duration: approx. 20 - 30 minutes

In the year 2007 I created the website Seychelles.com to write everything I experienced out of my head. Since then I have been constantly optimizing and expanding Seychellen.com in order to eventually be able to present a complete image of the Seychelles on this site.
