Au Cap beach

Au Cap is a low key beach on the east coast of Mahe island, Seychelles. The beach is beautiful. There is a lot of shade from trees and palms, as well as canonical Seychelles views of huge boulders. Usually there are just a few people here. And the place becomes crowded on Sunday only. There are many cafes and supermarkets around, as well as some other interesting beaches within a walking distance. You can also travel around the island by bus. However, if your hotel is not located right near the bus stop, it will be better to rent a car. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]
