Overview
La Digue is the fourth-largest island in the Seychelles archipelago, located in the Indian Ocean. Renowned for its stunning, often surreal beaches characterized by smooth, giant granite boulders sculpted by nature, La Digue embodies the quintessential tropical paradise. It offers a more tranquil and authentic island experience compared to its larger siblings, Mahé and Praslin, with a distinctly laid-back atmosphere.
The island is largely car-free, with bicycles and ox-carts being the primary modes of transport, contributing to its serene charm. Beyond its iconic shorelines, La Digue boasts lush interiors with vanilla plantations, coconut groves, and a rich biodiversity. It's a haven for photographers, nature lovers, and anyone seeking a truly idyllic and unhurried escape amidst some of the world's most breathtaking natural scenery.
Spend significant time at Anse Source d'Argent, arguably one of the most photographed beaches in the world. Famous for its unique pink-hued sand, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and monumental granite boulders, it's truly a postcard-perfect setting.
Tip: Access is through L'Union Estate (requires an entry fee). Go early in the morning to avoid crowds and get the best light for photography.
Rent a bicycle, the primary mode of transport on La Digue, and explore the island at your own pace. The main road is relatively flat and circles a significant portion of the island, leading you past beaches, villages, and local sights.
Tip: Most accommodations offer bicycle rentals. Test the brakes before you set off, and remember to ride on the left side of the road.
Explore L'Union Estate, a historic coconut and vanilla plantation that serves as the access point to Anse Source d'Argent. Wander through the vanilla plantations, see the old copra mill (where coconut flesh is dried), meet giant tortoises, and learn about the island's colonial history.
Tip: The entry fee to Anse Source d'Argent often includes access to the estate. It's an interesting glimpse into the island's agricultural heritage.
For adventurous beach lovers, hike to the more secluded and wilder beaches on the eastern side of the island: Grand Anse, Petite Anse, and the ultimate reward, Anse Cocos. The hike from Grand Anse to Anse Cocos involves navigating over boulders and through jungle paths.
Tip: Bring plenty of water, wear sturdy shoes, and be prepared for a challenging but rewarding walk. Anse Cocos has natural rock pools that offer safe swimming even when the main beach waves are strong.
Discover the vibrant underwater world surrounding La Digue. The clear waters and healthy coral reefs teem with colorful fish, sea turtles, and other marine life, making it an excellent spot for snorkeling and diving.
Tip: Numerous dive centers offer excursions. Popular snorkeling spots can be found around Anse Source d'Argent (beyond the main swimming areas) and other quieter coves.
Savor the local Seychellois cuisine, heavily influenced by its Creole heritage and abundant fresh seafood. Enjoy grilled fish, octopus curry, or other local delicacies at a beachfront restaurant or a charming local eatery.
Tip: Look for places that offer "catch of the day" for the freshest options. Don't miss trying a fresh fruit juice or coconut water.
