Ste Anne Marine National Park lies about 5 km from Victoria, the capital city of the Seychelles and encompasses 6 small islands. The Marine Park was created in 1973 for the preservation of wildlife. Fishing and waterskiing are forbidden in the Marine Park.

Today it is known as one of the prime tourist locations in the Indian Ocean for scuba-diving, glass-bottom boat excursions and snorkeling among the coral reefs. The main island of Ste Anne is an 87-villa resort while Cerf Island and Round Island have Creole-style restaurants. The other three islands are Moyenne, Beacon and Long Island.

It also has one of the largest areas of "seagrass meadows" in the Seychelles.
