The back story

About The east coast: the back story

The east coast faces the Atlantic, and it feels wilder and more rural than the west. Dennery, halfway down, has a busy fishing harbour flanked by cliffs and a Saturday-night seafood fiesta. Around Micoud you will find Mamiku Gardens and LaTille Falls, Noble Tree’s coffee and cocoa tours, and kayaking on the bay at Praslin.
