Nestled in the southwest of Praslin, Anse Citron promises untouched beauty and solace. Unlike its more prominent neighbors, Fond de l’Anse and Anse Takamaka, this quaint enclave boasts water so shallow that even at low tide, it remains just a few centimeters deep. This makes it an ideal sanctuary for children to play, but as for swimming; that's a different story. Anse Citron wears its seclusion as a badge of honor, making it a favoured spot for serene picnics or basking on golden sands. The journey here might be a tad adventurous given the absence of a nearby bus stop and limited roadside parking. Yet, for many residing along the coast, a brisk walk is all it takes to escape into this Eden. As you stand there, the horizon rewards you with exquisite views of Cousin and Cousine, particularly during sunsets. And, in a corner, history breathes alive in an old house, where a lone inhabitant tends his garden under the protective gaze of Gris-Gris talismans, relics of Seychelles’ storied past. While Anse Citron might not be a heartthrob of excitement, it certainly sings a soulful tune for those craving peace and unique attributes in Praslin.
Quiet, often overlooked beach in Praslin's south-west, a short distance from Fond de l’Anse. Offers views of Cousin and Cousine islands. Takamaka trees are nestled between the beach and road. Natural shade ensures sun protection. This tranquil beach is ideal for picnics.
