Beau Vallon beach

Beau Vallon is one of the most beautiful, and above all, the most famous beaches on Mahé island. It attracts visitors because here you can enjoy beautiful sunsets, try scuba diving or watch how local fishermen work. And if you're lucky, you can go fishing with them.

Beau Vallon beach has a well-developed infrastructure. There are many small cafes and restaurants, there is a rental of umbrellas, air mattresses, and scuba diving equipment. There are also special tourist kiosks where you can buy a boat ride or an exotic tour of the island.

Entrance to the Beau Vallon beach is free for all guests, as it is municipal property. However, part of the coastline belongs to local hotels. Therefore, only hotel guests can use sunbeds and umbrellas. If you like this place, then you can relax here, paying a nominal fee for the hotel infrastructure.

It is difficult to say at what time of day this beach is most beautiful. During the day, it is interesting to watch how sea water becomes an ocean one. In the evening you can see the most beautiful sunsets on the coast and hundreds of flying foxes that nest in the nearby palm trees. In the morning you can enjoy the fresh sea air and the gentle colors of the rising sun. Be prepared for the fact that local bright birds can join you for breakfast. They are not afraid of people and do not mind eating from the buffet.

It should be remembered that there are sea-urchins in some places on the beach. These animals are beautiful, but also incredibly insidious: their prick can significantly damage a person's leg. Therefore, pay attention to the signs on the beach. If there is a sign that you need to wear special shoes to enter the water, do not ignore this advice. It will help to preserve your health and allow you to enjoy the beauty of the underwater world.
