Beaches and Islands of the World

Majuli Island in India
This island in Assam, India's Brahmaputra River is the largest river island in the world. It is located about 20 kilometers from the city of Jorhat. There is not much tourism infrastructure on the island yet (which is part of its charm) but there are a few small inns and guest houses where accommodations are available. Majuli Island can be accessed from Assam first by bus or taxi and then by ferry or private motorboat transportation..

Bird Island in the Seychelles
Far off the coast of Africa, in the Seychelles Islands, there is a fabulous bird watching beach destination that will be appreciated by experts and novices alike. Tiny Bird Island is one of the Seychelles Islands, and it is the home a sea bird colony and sea bird research station. From May to October the Sooty Term Project is in progress and from September to February Hawksbill Turtles come up on the sand in the daytime to lay their eggs. You can visit the sea bird colony if you are willing to follow special guidelines and restrictions. There is a wonderful 20-cottage lodge halfway between the Bird Island Airstrip and the bird colony. Flying time from Mahe is about 30 minutes and flights are limited to guests of Bird Island Lodge.
