Anse Intendance is a beach situated in the southwest coast of Mahé island, Seychelles.
The beach is situated in the Takamaka district of the island, roughly 30 km from the capital city, Victoria.
To reach Anse Intendance from the West Coast Road, also known as Latanier Road, head south towards the South Coast Road (Route 5) until you reach the Quatre Bornes police station. From the East Coast Road, also known as Grand Anse Road, drive south until you reach the same police junction. From the Quatre Bornes police station, take the 1.7 km concrete road to the beach.[1]
The beach is a significant nesting site for Hawksbill sea turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata). In 2006, Cyclone Bondo caused severe erosion, destroying nearly 90% of the turtle nests at Intendance.[2]
In 2021, the Marine Conservation Society Seychelles proposed designating Anse Intendance as a protected area on Mahé Island to safeguard hawksbill sea turtles during their nesting season, from September 1 to March 31.[3]
