Seychelles Beach — Attraction in Icaria Municipality

Whoever coined the term "paradise" must have visited the Seychelles. An area of unbeatable beauty boasting many of the world's best beaches, this utopian archipelago lies off the east coast of Africa in the Indian Ocean.

In addition to its sparkling turquoise waters, abundant sea turtles, and an underwater world teeming with life, the sand on these impressive strands is so soft, it soothes sore feet. Add a stunning backdrop of lush forests, giant boulders, and verdant hills, and you'll begin to grasp the extent of the area's perfection.

With 115 islands comprised of unspoiled, picture-perfect beaches, it can be hard to decide which to visit for a honeymoon, and what strand to choose for those traveling with kids.

Offers large parking space by the road upwards from the beach.

However, it is really small and beaches like that can be found much more commonly in Sardinia, Italy for example. Also quite difficult to reach, having to hike about 10-12 minutes down, and later back up, a very rocky trail.

Beautiful beach but very hard to get to if walking. We tried to find the path yesterday and got down to the huge rocks at the bottom of the trail but the sea was too rough so we gave up. Today we managed to carefully follow the white arrows and when you get right to the very bottom you either have to walk a very narrow dangerous path over a huge boulder or you zig-zag down to the bottom of the boulder and have to step into the water about .5m deep. Once on the beach it is beautiful with very clear water. The beach is now much smaller than years before and the ladders, bridge, and platform you see in some older pictures are not there any more. Its very isolated but there is some shade from the huge overhanging cliffs. Definitely worth the treck but...
