La Digue
Anse Source d'Argent
Anse Source d'Argent is the most photographed subject in the Indian Ocean: granite boulders in shallow turquoise water. A reef offshore protects it, so it is nearly always calm — but it depends entirely on the tide.

- Safety
- Being sheltered, the sea here usually stays calm — that is not a substitute for checking conditions yourself on site.
- Access
- through L'Union Estate, entry fee, then on foot
At low water you stand ankle-deep in places and can barely swim; at high water several of the finest stretches are no longer walkable. Ask about the tide in the morning and plan the visit around it — that is the difference between the photograph and the disappointment. Access runs through L'Union Estate and costs an entry fee; day visitors from Praslin usually arrive at the wrong hour.
Before you book
Three islands in seven nights?
It is the most common mistake in Seychelles. Every island change costs half a day, and the transfer days land in the middle of the trip. One conversation beforehand prevents it.
