Is there seaweed in the Seychelles in December?

If you want to avoid that, you can visit the beaches on the other side of the island, which are generally free from seaweed. An exception here would be Anse Volbert (Cote d'Or) in the north of Praslin. Between December and February, the north-west trade winds bring some seaweed to these shores.
