ANSE PARNEL

The Anse Parnel is located in the southeast of the main island Mahé. A rather small beach with fine light sand and crystal clear water. Because of the offshore reef the water is shallow and calm, but there are some sharp stones/corals on the seabed, so water shoes are recommended. Especially at low tide the water is very shallow and sometimes only reaches up to the knees, at high tide the beach sometimes disappears completely.

Anse Parnel is a pretty beach in a quiet, idyllic corner of the island, shielded from view. Blessed with shimmering white sand and clear waters, this lovely beach is wonderful for a family day out.

Especially on weekends, some locals come here to surf and bodyboard. This is why the beach is also called "Surfers Beach". Among other things, the "Surfers Beach Restaurant" is located directly on the beach.
