Seychelles Anse Soleil

This beach was right at our hotel (Beachcomber, bad food, otherwise great). A mere 10 second walk down the stairs and you're there. Apart from photographing above water you absolutely have to get underwater. It's an awesome snorkeling riff with lots of great fish and rock formations. There are better ones but this is right at the beach and you don't have to get out far.

There's a public parking lot at the Anse Soleil Café. This part of the island is not easy to reach. You will have to come by car or bus since the beach is at sea level (...) while the surrounding areas are highly elevated.
