Seychelles Safe

Very safe to walk and to travel alone, with no dangerous wildlife on land. The complaint that comes up is opportunist theft from beach bags and from self-catering houses left open. In the water, the southeast trades from May to September put real current on the exposed beaches — Anse Major and parts of the south coast of Mahé have drowned confident swimmers.

Comfortable: Beau Vallon · Victoria, Seychelles · La Digue · Praslin

  • Opportunist theft from self-catering houses and from beach bags, which is essentially the whole crime picture here
  • Anse Major — and the exposed beaches during the southeast trades, where the current is real
  • Victoria, Seychelles — the market area late in the day
