A full day is typically adequate for people who want to explore Mahé's southern region. Take the four-lane east coast highway and head south through the airport until you reach the island's southern region. Before reaching the seaside and Anse aux Pins, a 5 km (3 mile) bay after which the local community is called, the shoreline here is a little monotonous at first. The coral reef and shallow, sloping beaches that run the length of this coastline are its defining features. At low tide, you can go for a stroll, swimming is only really feasible at high tide.
