Petite Anse La Digue

Petite Anse delivers what Anse Source d'Argent cannot: solitude. Reached only by a 30-minute hike through jungle from Grand Anse (or by passing through the Four Seasons resort), this secluded beach rewards those willing to make the effort. Massive granite boulders frame the golden sand, palm trees provide natural shade, and the turquoise water stretches uninterrupted to the horizon. Strong currents make swimming risky during the southeast monsoon, but the sheer beauty makes it worth the trek. Few visitors venture here, making it one of La Digue's most peaceful spots—bring water and supplies as there are no facilities.
