Anse Source d'Argent

The breathtakingly spectacular Anse Source d'Argent beach lies on the La Digue Island of the Seychelles, possibly one of the Seychelles most beautiful beaches and one of the most photographed.

You can also set foot past the first set of boulders to a larger bay that is usually less frequented and offers more privacy.

The Union State which you must pass through to reach this beach closes at 5PM so unfortunately sunset visits aren't possible, and sometimes with the high tide the beach can almost disappear so it is advised that you plan around the tides.
