The risk of theft is higher in tourist hubs, such as Beau Vallon and the capital, Victoria. Be aware of your surroundings and keep valuables out of sight. Avoid back streets and beaches after dark. Beaches in the Seychelles, including Beau Vallon, often have strong currents and rips.

The Seychelles is a true paradise on earth and is home to some of Africa's most beautiful beaches. The Seychellois coastline is a picture-perfect stretch of soft white sand and crystal-clear turquoise waters, providing an idyllic setting.

Depending on what type of holiday experience you want to have, Seychelles can be affordable. However, you have to keep in mind that being a small country, we have to import almost everything, so this definitely has an effect on prices.

Creoles, indigenous Seychelles population, are peaceful and friendly, always smiling people. They take it slow and are kind to tourists and to each other. If you are invited to a Creole home, be sure to bring a little present – it`s a custom around here.
