Cerf Island

Cerf Island lies within the Sainte Anne Marine National Park just offshore from Victoria, a small granitic islet ringed by coral gardens. Its calm, shallow waters and easy access from the capital make it one of the most visited day-trip destinations in the inner Seychelles. Forested with palms and takamaka trees, the island supports a handful of guesthouses and restaurants tucked among the greenery. Snorkellers explore the protected reef where colourful fish and occasional rays gather, while the beach faces the mainland.
