Beau Vallon – the best-known beach on the coast of Mahé
Beau Vallon is a bay on the northwestern coast of Mahé and is possibly the most popular beach on the island, a long stretch of sand that has drawn islanders and visitors alike for generations. Its clear waters and coral reefs have made it a base for diving and snorkelling, and several hotels and restaurants line the shore, with further resorts along its beaches. Sunset on the bay, the fish market on the sand and weekend gatherings are part of everyday life here. Share your memories, photographs and family stories with the community.
