This hard, primeval rock has, over aeons of time, been worn by water, sand, sun and wind into extraordinary shapes and spectacular monuments. These vast natural sculptures are typically found on the beaches of the granite islands, especially here at Anse Cocos on La Digue.
North of La Digue's Grand Anse lies the remote and sheltered bay of Anse Cocos, with its abandoned coconut plantations. It is only a short walk from Grand Anse. However, access from the other direction is blocked by granite stones, which involve a hot and sweaty clamber over rocks and crevices.

BEACH ANSE LAZIO, PRASLIN ISLAND, SEYCHELLES
Anse Lazio with its fresh-water lagoon on Praslin island is a favourite open-air studio for international fashion photographers.

LOOKING THROUGH PALMTREES ON SAILINGBOAT AND BEACH ANSE VICTORIN, FRéGATE ISLAND, SEYCHELLES
Islands are best seen from a boat. In charter boats like the Stephanie belonging to the Maison des Palmes on Praslin, you can go on day-trips from beach to beach, or week-long cruises to the islands and their hidden bays. You can sail in just two hours from Praslin to the picturesque Anse Victorin on Fr?gate.
Fregate is a small luxury hotel, 50 km east of Mah?; 16 bungalows, seven beaches, a small airport and helicopter service. ItÕs one of the most expensive hotels.
At the beginning of the 18th century, pirates seeking a safe hideaway on the island of Fr?gate were the first humans to leave their footprints on the powdery white sand of the Anse Victorin. The beach can only be reached on foot. There is a path which leads steadily up hill, then for the last 500 yards drops steeply down to the bay.

GRANIT ROCK FORMATION AT GRAND ANSE ON THE ISLAND LA DIGUE, SEYCHELLES
It looks as though a giant hand had piled up these granite rocks, 750 million years old, which form a cliff beside Grand Anse on the island of La Digue. The rocks have been sculpted by wind, rain and sea and appear pink or grey, according to the light. The little skiffs cannot go to sea when the surf is high, and have to be hauled well up the beach to safety every day. (FOTO: DUKAS/MICHAEL FRIEDEL)

BEACH SOURCE DÔARGENT OR SILVER SPRING POINT, LA DIGUE ISLAND, SEYCHELLES
The granitic islands of the Seychelles - the granite rocks - are of volcanic origin. Looking over 750 million years out of the sea they are one of the eldest landmasses of our world. Wind-, rain- and water-erosion has shaped these rocks into unique sculptures. An open museum telling the history of your planet.
Huge granite rock-formations, innumerable deserted, unspoilt beaches and sheltered bays are the typical of the landscape and are the trade-mark Unique Rock-Formations are the landmark of the Seychelles. However, they are but a small part of the unique natural attractions which the islands can offer the visitors.
The Island of La Digue has a large population due to its fertile soil. Anse Cocos, Grande Anse and Source d'Argent are the most beautiful and spectacular beaches on the Seychelles.
"Pointe Source d'Argent", or Silver Spring Point, is the name given by the inhabitants of La Digue to this bit of coast. It is said that a fabulous pirate treasure lies buried here, still to be discovered. The huge blocks of granite make up the most impressive rock-formation in the archipelago. They also provided the backdrop for Roman Polansky's film "Pirates."

BEACH ANSE INTENDANCE, ISLAND MAHé, SEYCHELLES
Although there was a promise never to build a hotel on this beautiful beach, there is a top luxury hotel blocking part of the access. One of the largest and perhaps the most beautiful of Mah?'s beaches is Anse Intendance on the south coast. A luxury resort has been built on this beach. Bathing is dangerous, especially during the south-east monsoon, from May to October, because of the big waves and strong currents; but it is wonderful for body-surfing.

FISHERMEN, BEAU VALLON BEACH, MAHé ISLAND, SEYCHELLES
Fishermen. The Dauban family were the first settlers to arrive on the island, in the 19th century. Over the next few years they gradually acquired the whole island, and began cinnamon and coconut plantations that grew into thriving businesses, with 1,000 people living on the island by the 1950s. Unfortunately, a crash in the copra market at that time forced the family to mortgage the island. Subsequently, in 1960, the bank foreclosed, and a century of Dauban ownership came to an end on Silhouette. Now the Seychelles government owns the entire island.
