    Car

    If you have access to a car, start your journey from any point in Île Ronde. Make your way towards the main road that connects to the coastal route.

Inform the driver that you want to get off at Glacis Beach. The bus ride will take approximately 15-20 minutes, depending on the stops. Make sure to have small change ready for the fare, which should be around 5-10 Seychellois Rupees. Once you arrive, it is a short walk from the bus stop to the beach entrance.
