Anse Possession is on the north coast of Praslin, east of Anse Lazio, and far less visited than its famous neighbour. The beach is smaller and the setting more intimate — a curved bay flanked by coconut palms, with a village behind it and fishing boats pulled up on the sand. The water is calm and clear, excellent for swimming, and the crowd is a fraction of Anse Lazio's.
The easiest way to reach Anse Possession is by bicycle from the main road — Praslin is small enough to explore on two wheels, and a bike from any of the rental shops near the main jetty takes you here in under 20 minutes. The beach has a couple of informal restaurants serving grilled fish.
