La Digue hotels on

On the tiny La Digue, as well as on most islands of the archipelago, villas and guesthouses are widely distributed, differing from each other by the convenience of location, the level of service and, of course, the price.

Beaches of La Diga

The visiting card of the island is the coast of Sours-d'Arzhan Bay ("Silver Spring") with spectacular panorama from huge granite massifs, pink in the mornings and red at sunset.

Map of La Diga
A long strip of beaches stretches from Cape Barbie, they are all surrounded by granite rocks. The most remote beaches are located in the bays of Grand Anse, Petit Ans and Anse Coco. These are the most beautiful beaches of the island, the sand there has a pink hue. However, during the southeast monsoon (from April to October) the sea becomes unsettled and swimming on these beaches is dangerous. In addition, it is always worth paying attention to wooden signs with inscriptions in different languages: "Beware of dangerous currents."

The main beach of the island is located in the natural park. Entrance fee ~ 20 SCR.

For snorkeling, it is best to go to the nearby Islet de Cocos.
