Île aux Vaches Marines is one of many islands in the Seychelles, lying in the west shores of Mahe.[1] Île aux Vaches Marines is a granite rock, only slightly covered with vegetation. The island is a popular nesting site for sea-birds. The rocks "Les Trois Dames" are not far from it but are usually hidden by heavily breaking seas.
