The west coast of Mahé runs from Port Glaud and Port Launay in the north-west, past Grand Anse, down to Anse Boileau and Anse à la Mouche. The Port Launay and Baie Ternay Marine National Parks protect the bays at its northern end.
It is quieter than the north-west around Beau Vallon, with places to stay spread out along the coast road, so a hire car or arranged transfers make a stay here easier.
