The first time I heard about the African island nation of Seychelles has jelly-colored waters, and now the winter in the northern hemisphere is exactly the summer in Seychelles, which is between 4 and 10 degrees south latitude. So go to the Seychelles for the winter and stop by to find out what the jelly-colored sea looks like.
Seychelles is a country of 115 large and small islands, and its capital, Victoria, is located on the largest island, Mahe Island, where the international airport is also located, so stepping onto the territory of the Seychelles, Mahe is the first stop. The second island that tourists usually choose is Praslin Island, the second largest island in the Seychelles.
Praslin is a long, narrow island with a length of about 11 km and a maximum width of about 4 km, with an area of 42 km². Although small in size, Praslin island is home to seven or eight of the world's top beaches, such as the famous Lazio Beach, which has been awarded the honor of the third largest beach in the world. But I like one of the more remote Jogit beaches on the island.
Georgette Beach is located in the northwest corner of Praslin Island, facing the vast Indian Ocean. Except that this beach is like a cloth pocket, the bay is U-shaped, with hillsides and reefs at both ends, and the middle semicircular arc is sea water and sand. Georgette Beach is located inside a five-star hotel on the island, so there are also hotels that have the name on the beach, and the name is a bit longer: The Remulia Konstanz Beach (English name Anse Georgette).
Although Georgette Beach is also free to the public, but because you need to enter the beach from inside the hotel, visitors need to apply to the hotel in advance, the hotel has a reservation application phone, you can also go directly to the hotel gate, fill out a registration form at the security office, but you can enter the hotel inside. Since the beach is at the very middle end of the hotel, it takes more than twenty minutes to walk to the beach.
Fortunately, at the mall in the hotel, there is a free battery car shuttle station, there will be a shuttle bus in less than an hour, if you are not in a hurry, you can wait for the battery car transfer at the entrance of the mall. The battery car needs to pass through the hotel's golf course, the mountain path is a bit steep, several places are almost straight up and down, but the scenery of the golf course is not bad, eye-catching.
Georgette Beach is surrounded by a thicket of trees, and even if you come to the beach and you can hear the sound of the waves hitting the beach, you can't see the beach over there, and you can't see a green tropical plant in front of you. Only when you cross a path between the trees will you suddenly see the jelly-colored sea water in front of you.
Recently, it is popular to describe the sea water of the sea as "jelly color", in fact, jelly color does not refer to a single color, but refers to a translucent texture or color, and may be orange, yellow, green, blue, blue and purple in color. The sea water of Seychelles is often described as the frozen color of the fruit, that is, its blue sea water is clear and transparent, with almost no impurities, similar to jelly.
The waters of Georgette Bay, described in terms of jelly color, are apt. The length of the U-shaped bay is less than 500 meters, and the sand that emerges at low tide extends more than twenty meters from the bushes to the sea. The sand of the beach is very delicate, and the part that is flattened by the waves is gentle enough to be stepped on. And the sea connected to the beach, whether it is in front of you or at the skyline, is blue.
The English name of Georgette Bay, translated as Chinese means "Georgette", which is a transparent and extremely thin yarn. If you describe it as Georgette's seawater, it is really quite graphic. It is said that as long as visitors stand in the clean waters, they can see manta rays and other unknown tropical fish swimming around you.
At both ends of Georgette Beach, there are many reefs that expose the beach, and most of these reefs have lost their edges and corners after years of seawater erosion. Among them is a reef that resembles a "dragon's claw", stretching out its thin claws and clinging to the beach by the sea, seemingly unwilling to be carried away by the waves. This scene, which appears in many brochures or posters in the Seychelles, has become the signature attraction of this bay.
The beach in Jogit is a little different from the beaches in other parts of the Seychelles, that is, this place is beautiful, but the waves from the Indian Ocean are also large, so it is best not to swim in the sea at high tide. Therefore, many tourists who like to play with the sea do not choose to come to Georgette Bay, because most of the time can not snorkel. Because of this, Georgette Bay is also one of the least visited places, it is quiet and undisturbed, like the legendary Garden of Eden, not to mention, it also has a jelly-colored sea.
