The 1,500 step long Anse Madge lays in the perpetually calm Baie Ste.
Anne, overlooking the entire bay, including the jetty where all
inter-island transfers connect. Praslin Yacht Club is also located there. The
beach has fine sand and during low tide it becomes partly hardpacked, which
makes it a good running track. While it is completely safe for swimming due to
lack of waves and currents it is not a popular tourist beach.
The long sandbanks during low tide have a soft, muddy sandfloor. Anse Madge is
sheltered by many thick bushes and pine trees. Many locals chose this beach
for their weekend picnics.
