In Glacis, on the north-west coast of Mahé, this small beach is located near the Sunset Beach Hotel and can be reached by a path from the main road or by walking up stairs from the hotel parking lot.
Sunset Beach ist ein kleiner Strand im Norden von Mahé. Hier gibt es feinen Pudersand und glasklares Meer. Der Inbegriff eines Paradies-Strandes. In der Ferne kann man die Inseln Silhouette und North Island sehen.
The water gets deep relatively quickly, has occasional rocks and there can be high waves.
There is sufficient shade, especially in the morning.
On some days Kenneth - a blond Rasta - has set up his jewellery shop on the beach and sells locally made necklaces and bracelets.
Surrounded by palm trees and trees, this beautiful beach is excellent for swimming and snorkeling. Snorkelling is particularly good around the rocks below the hotel, and sightings of turtles are common. The sea has a sudden drop in depth near the coast. Small children need direct adult supervision. As the name suggests, the sunsets here are breathtaking!
