Getting There
-
Walking
From the main area of Grand Anse, head towards the beach. Walk south along the coastline, enjoying the sights of the beautiful Grand Anse Beach. Continue along the beach path until you reach the southern end where the beach transitions to rocky terrain. Keep walking in the same direction until you see a small trail leading up towards the hills. Take this trail, which may be steep in some areas, and follow it as it winds through lush vegetation. After approximately 20-30 minutes of walking, you will see the stunning Petite Anse beach emerge in front of you.
-
Hiking
If you're feeling adventurous, you can also hike up to the viewpoint above Grand Anse first. From the viewpoint, head down the other side towards Petite Anse. The hike will take about 1-1.5 hours, depending on your pace. This route offers spectacular views of the coastline and is a great way to experience the natural beauty of Seychelles. Once you reach the bottom, follow the path that leads directly to Petite Anse, where you can relax and enjoy the beach.
-
Boat
For a unique experience, consider taking a boat from Grand Anse to Petite Anse. Look for local fishermen or tour operators offering boat rides. Make sure to negotiate the fare and confirm the return time. The boat ride will provide you with a scenic view of the coastline, and you'll arrive at Petite Anse in about 15 minutes. Once there, enjoy the serene atmosphere and clear waters.
