Praslin
Côte d'Or
Côte d'Or on Praslin's northeast coast is not a single beach but a long bay with shallow, calm water. Most of the island's hotels stand here, and this is where swimming is least complicated.
- Island
- Praslin
- Faces
- southeast
- Calm
- December to March, in the northwest monsoon
- Safety
- May to September, in the southeast trade wind, expect stronger surf and currents on this southeast-facing bay — less suitable for small children or weak swimmers in that period.
- Access
- bus and road, Praslin's hotel coast
Because the bay faces east it can collect seaweed in the southeast trade wind; the hotels clear their own stretches, between them it stays. From December to March the water is clearer. For families Côte d'Or is still the most practical address on Praslin, because you can walk to dinner.
Before you book
Three islands in seven nights?
It is the most common mistake in Seychelles. Every island change costs half a day, and the transfer days land in the middle of the trip. One conversation beforehand prevents it.
