I know that Seychelles' beaches are glorious, but what are the other top two or three attractions
for a new visitor?  I know there are a number of nature reserves and national parks... are they nice
places to spend some time?  Which island is best for tourism?

Seychelles has very unique attractions. Its not a cheap destination and they market it deliberately like that. Anyway Mahe and Praslin Islands are good options to go for. This place is very ideal for those that wish to go on a honeymoon

Praslin surely has great beaches, but so do La Digue and Mahé, too. The outer islands have some cool (& expensive) places to stay as well.
Besides beaches, there are coral reefs for diving & snorkeling, inland forests with huge palm trees, small islands with birds and giant tortoises, etc.
not that much shopping or wild nightlife, really, but for that, there are other destinations to go to.
You can combine two or three islands for your visit if you want.

Personally, I loved the Seychelles.
Have a great trip!

I read an interesting post somewhere else where someone wanted to migrate to seychelles and wanted the opinion of others. Most people were saying everyday life in seychelles is hard and he would experience a lot of frustrations living there..i dunno how true that was

Praslin is the best island
