ANSE MAJOR

The Anse Major is located in the north-west of Mahé. The beach is divided in two by granite rocks. Especially in the back part of the bay you can find coarse grained, almost pebbly sand and a cool river that ends in the sea. There is also a shelter near the beach which is used by boat operators for barbecue.

Shadows are mainly in the morning.

The beach can only be reached by boat trip or via the Anse Major Trail.
Dieser beginnt an der Endstation des Busses „Bel Ombre“ beim La Scala Restaurant. Hier folgt man der Teerstraße bergauf (rechts halten). Nach etwa 15-20 Minuten kommt rechts ein grosses Felsplateau mit toller Aussicht aus die Insel Silhouette. Dies ist bei den Einheimischen ein beliebter Sonnenuntergangs-Spot. Hier kann man auch Parken allerdings sind die Parkmöglichkeiten begrenzt.
If you follow the tarred road, a few minutes later a staircase with a footpath branches off to the left. From here it is an approx. 1-hour walk over granite splinters & roots with mostly great views. We pass some small creeks, cinnamon & cashew trees and wild vanilla plants.
