Introduction

A wild, atmospheric beach on the south of Mahé. With no protecting reef, the water here has big waves and strong currents and the scenery is dramatic — not really suited to ordinary swimming, yet a favourite among surfers. The renowned Banyan Tree resort lies along this coast, and this is one of the most visually striking surf vistas on the island.
