Anse Intendance, Protected beach on Mahé island, Seychelles.
The beach extends over a mile of white sand shoreline, bordered by granite boulders and verdant vegetation on the southeastern coast of Mahé.
The beach received its name from French colonial administrators who established jurisdiction over the southeastern region of Mahé during the 18th century.
Local inhabitants maintain traditional fishing practices along the shore, using methods passed down through generations of Seychellois fishermen.
Visitors should bring water, food, and sun protection as facilities are limited, and swimming requires caution due to strong currents.
The beach presents perfect conditions for surfing between May and September when southeastern trade winds generate substantial waves.
