• The presence of Seychelles beaches on the list of the World’s 50 Best Beaches is evidence of the country’s stunning scenery and untamed beauty.

Tourism Seychelles, the marketing branch of the tourism department, said on Wednesday that Anse Source D’Argent on La Digue island, in Seychelles, had been ranked second on the list of the World’s Top 50 Best Beaches for 2023. The World’s 50 Best Beaches list, presented by Banana Boat, is the product of a coordinated effort that garnered votes from more than 750 reputable travel influencers and professionals.

The third-most inhabited island in Seychelles, La Digue, is where Anse Source D’Agent is situated. The beach features dramatic granite rocks, luscious green coconut palms that provide shade from the sun, and crystal clear wavelets that lap rhythmically on sparkling white dunes.

Lucky Bay in Australia came first, and Hidden Beach in the Philippines came third.

A number of factors, including pristine natural beauty, remoteness, swimmability, yearly sunlight days, and average annual temperature, were used to rate the beaches. According to Tourism Seychelles, the presence of Seychelles beaches on the list of the World’s 50 Best Beaches is evidence of the country’s stunning scenery and untamed beauty.

“Anse Source D’Argent is renowned as one of the world’s most photographed coastlines and captivates visitors with its golden sand, turquoise waters, and majestic granite boulders. With impressive days of sunshine each year, this beach sets the stage for an idyllic beach experience,” added Tourism Seychelles.

The popular beach has frequently come out on top. It was voted first among Africa’s Top 50 Beaches in 2019. Anse Lazio on Praslin Island, another Seychelles beach, was ranked 29th.

The second-most significant island in the Seychelles, Praslin Island, has Anse Lazio located on its northwest shore. Despite how remote it may seem from the outside world, getting to the beach is simple by foot, car, or boat.

According to Tourism Seychelles Anse Lazio, celebrated as one of the finest beaches globally, features a wide stretch of soft white sand framed by granite rocks at both ends. Its calm, crystal-clear waters and gentle slope make it an ideal setting for swimming and snorkeling.”

The report added that “This recognition further strengthens Seychelles’ position as a must-visit location for beach lovers around the world, offering a truly extraordinary experience.”
