TL;DR

Anse Lazio can become noticeably crowded when excursion catamarans and boats arrive. For a quieter visit, seek out beaches not covered by short tours and leave shells on the shore.

What the community said

Do not collect shells from Praslin’s beaches: they help protect the shoreline from erosion, provide shelter for hermit crabs and other animals, and eventually return calcium to the marine environment.
