Thérèse Island

Therese Island is a small 179 acre islet off the western coast of Mahé in the Seychelles. It has white sand beaches, 700m with numerous coconut palms. It has two rocky peaks which resemble a giant's staircase, the tallest being 160 meters above sea level. There is a reef protecting the south shore of the island.

Even though the island is uninhabited, it is frequently visited by tourists and is noted for its watersports including scuba diving, snorkeling, water skiing, sailing, windsurfing and deep sea fishing.
