Petite Anse, Coastal beach in Mahé, Seychelles.
The beach extends 200 meters along the western coast of Mahé Island, featuring fine white sand and deep azure waters against granite cliffs.
The beach received its name Anse la Liberté from French settlers in the 18th century, reflecting the secluded nature of this coastal location.
Local vendors near the western entrance maintain the Seychellois tradition of selling fresh coconuts and tropical juices to beach visitors.
Access requires advance arrangements through the Four Seasons Resort management for non-hotel guests, with parking available at designated areas.
The beach contains natural rock formations that create separate swimming zones during low tide, with water depths varying from shallow pools to deep sections.
