June

Name the island of the Seychelles that features the
spectacular Anse Lazio Beach.
Characterized by large granite boulders, Anse Lazio is rated by Lonely Planet as the best beach on this island. Located in the Indian Ocean, this island is the second largest of the Seychelles (an independent African state) with a population around 7,500.

A tourist destination with many hotels and resorts, this island also contains substantial tracts of tropical forests and the Vallee de Mai, a nature preserve established in 1979. Reportedly, a 19th-century Khartoum general by the name of Charles George Gordon considered the Vallee de Mai to be the Garden of Eden.
