Anse Georgette is a beach situated in the northwestern coast of Praslin, Seychelles. It is ranked among the top 10 best beaches in the world for 2024.
Overview
The beach remains completely untouched and preserved in its natural state, surrounded by takamaka trees and edged with massive granite boulders.
In 2011, the Seychelles Maritime Safety Authority implemented a temporary ban on entering the water and swimming at Anse Georgette due to a series of shark attacks in the adjoining Anse Lazio.
Location
The beach is situated within the private grounds of the Constance Lémuria Resort. Although access is restricted, non-resort guests can visit with prior permission. Also, it can be accessed by hiking from the nearby Anse Lazio or by a boat.
