Anse Source d’Argent may be the most photographed beach on the stunning island of La Digue because of the striking granite boulders in shades of pink and gray that adorn the shore, providing a uniquely scenic backdrop to the shallow aquamarine waters. The small island is easily explored on foot or bicycle if you’d like to find your own secluded stretch of sand among the beautiful white beaches lining the coast. Take some time to mingle with the locals in the cafés and markets in the village of La Passe before exploring other sights like L’Union Estate, a former colonial plantation where you might encounter giant tortoises, and the Veuve Reserve dedicated to preserving the endangered Seychelles paradise flycatcher. A short boat ride takes you to the marine park of Île Cocos, a prime snorkeling spot of translucent waters filled with coral reefs and colorful tropical fish.
