Why go
This route suits visitors based on Praslin who want several different north-coast shores without committing to an offshore excursion. Anse Possession is a scenic first pause with views toward Curieuse. Arrange road transport to small Anse Boudin, then continue by road to Anse Lazio for more time among the granite and sand. These links are not a marked coastal footpath, and the transfer allowances are separate from time at the beaches. Leave room for a relaxed final stop. Decide whether to swim only after checking surf and local guidance on arrival, especially if the sea is unsettled.
