Anse Lazio
Anse Lazio is consistently ranked among the world's most beautiful beaches—and occasionally, it has waves. This northwest-facing paradise on Praslin Island catches swells during the northwest monsoon season, when energy from distant storms creates rideable peaks between the iconic granite boulders. The surfing is a bonus here, not the main attraction—the primary draw is the stunning scenery of white sand, turquoise water, and prehistoric-looking rocks. But for surfers visiting the Seychelles, Anse Lazio offers the possibility of combining world-class scenery with actual waves.
