This is one of the most beautiful beaches you will ever see. Make sure you stop at the restaurant in the national park as it had some of the best food on the island

This beach is to be seen to be believed. There is a reef to combat any big waves and the water is warm. There are fish close to the beach and snorkelling is a must.

This beach is very beautiful and peaceful.... A great place for snorkelling too... The turtle parks the vanilla plantations the ox rides and last but not the least the Anse Source d'Argent beach makes Ladigue island a must visit for a one day excursion while you are in seychelles....

First we went there in the morning and the sea was very low I thought it was nice but when we came back in afternoon when the sea was high then it was beautiful. The entrance is 100 roupies around €6.5 and you can spend the day there.

Very nice beach, with the granite boulders providing a stunning backdrop. The reef offshore provides a sheltered swimming area suitable for small children. We happened to visit during low tide, when swimming is more difficult due to the shallow coral. I imagine it is easier when the tide is higher. Note that you have to pay transit the Estate to...

well if you are at al Digue, you have to go there, but it´s a crowded beach. so, it´s good to take a few photos and to see. The water is too shallow, really not good to swim.

This beach defies any description. You need to be there to experience the breathtaking harmony of colours, the serenity and warmth of the place, and the awesome view from the rocks. The clouds forming constantly add to the dream like panorama and their movement as well as the sun's position bring different color temperatures and nuances, perfect for great photos.... More
