Anse Volbert (Côte d'Or)
Anse Volbert
A long beach on Praslin's northeast coast, the hub of the island's hotels, restaurants and dive centers, and the departure point for boat trips.
Anse Volbert, also known as Côte d'Or, has a gentle, long sandy beach with shallow water and small waves, ideal for swimming and families. Along the shore are Praslin's densest concentration of hotels, restaurants, supermarkets and dive shops. Most boats to Île Saint-Pierre, Île Curieuse and Île Cousin depart from here. In the evening you can watch the sunset from the sand. It is about 15 minutes by taxi from Praslin Airport or the ferry wharf, and the island bus also serves the beach.
