- Snorkel the sheltered lagoon and rock channels — The granite boulders carve the shoreline into calm pockets where colorful reef fish hang out within easy paddle from shore. Water clarity is often excellent on calm days; go at higher tide, wear reef shoes, and keep your mask handy — you’ll see more life a few metres off the rocks than you would on a wide open beach.
- Scramble the boulder-formed tide pools — Those sculpted granite slabs aren’t just scenic backdrops: they create tiny ecosystems full of crabs, blennies and anemones. It’s great for low-effort exploration and close-up photos. Good footwear helps; don’t pry animals out of crevices and leave the pools as you found them.

- Golden-hour photography and quiet shoreline sitting — This beach tends to feel private compared with busier bays, so the light on the boulders and shallow water at sunrise or sunset can be spectacular without crowds. Bring a small tripod or just your phone — the reflections and textures here are what make postcards of the Seychelles.
- Short coastal walks and beachcombing between coves — Small tracks link Anse Petite Cour to neighbouring coves, giving you different sand types, hidden rock inlets and chances to watch traditional fishermen land a catch. It’s an easy, scenic way to stretch your legs and discover quieter spots that larger beaches don’t offer.
- Stargazing and (seasonal) turtle-watch etiquette — Nights here are dark and peaceful, perfect for constellation-spotting and listening to surf. If you visit during turtle-nesting season you might encounter nesting or hatching activity on nearby beaches — stay back, keep lights off, and follow local guidance so the wildlife isn’t disturbed.
