Anse Kerlan stretches from the small village Amitie to the granite rock formation Pointe Ste. Marie. An offshore reef protects from high waves and here and there some breakwaters or natural giant granit boulders characteristic of the Seychelles split the long beach into sections.
The water is quite shallow, making Anse Kerlan ideal for families with children. On the weekends many locals enjoy a day at Anse Kerlan. Swimming is possible throughout the year.
