Platte island

Platte is a private island to the south of major Mahe island, Seychelles. There is a classical tropical paradise with palms. Unfortunately, swimming is often impossible due to the problem of strong low tides. In addition, sea water usually warms up on the shallows, thus leading to algae being created. Fortunately, pools are always available. In addition, ocean fishing is good near the island. You may also roam around the island by bike and visit giant turtles. Shore and seabed: sand. [edit]
