Anse Baleine beach

Anse Baleine is a small beach on the south-east coast of Mahe island, Seychelles. The beach is outstanding in its beauty. There are also few other interesting beaches nearby, as well as grocery stores. The only problem is shallow water during the low tide. And you won't be able to walk far from the coastline due to the house reef. But on the other hand, it is convenient for a smaller children. Snorkeling on the house reef is also good and comfortable. If waves are strong, it is easy to get to the west coast of the island (to Anse Takamaka beach) trying to find calm water. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]
