Baie Lazare - mahe

For the historically minded, this beach is worth visiting to imagine the vantage of Lazare Picault, the first mariner to land and claim Mahé for France in 1742. This palm-fringed bay on the south-western coast has a narrow sandy beach close to the road and is one of the island’s quieter spots.

Baie Lazare is suitable for:

    Snorkelling
    Swimming

How to get there:

Baie Lazare is approximately a 45-minute drive from Victoria, or 35-minute/20km from the airport. From the international airport, turn left and travel south on the main road via Anse Royale, passing the turning to Les Canelles, Takamaka village and finally Baie Lazare that starts in front of the Lazare Picault hotel.
