Grand Anse Beach

#thingstodo Phenomenal beach to visit on La Digue. The bike ride there takes a bit of effort, as it involves a gentle climb but totally worth it. Worst case scenario, push the bike or even walk there. Met some lovely tourists walking there so totally doable. On the way you should call by Mini’s cafe and grab some refreshments or lunch even. Beautiful beach with white sandy beaches once you get to Grand Anse. However, must note that there’s not a lot of shade. The sea can also be a bit rough there so please swim cautiously. Short-ish hike through the woods out to a gorgeous, secluded beach. This was our favorite beach in all of the Seychelles and would very much recommend. If you ride your bike down to Grand Anse on La Digue, you will pass by a trail sign for Anse Songe. You can ride your bike a little ways into the trail, then drop them by the side and continue on foot. It goes up and to the right, then onto rocks and out onto the coast. You can spot Grand Anse, then continue to the right along the coast and it opens to this gorgeous spot. The views are amazing and you'll have it all to yourself. You can also hike over to Anse Coco or Petite Anse from there and those are as phenomenal, if not even nicer. Please please please stick to the well maintained trail as it can be so easy to get lost otherwise. They have yellow markings alongside the trail for you to follow and it appears at fairly regular intervals. It’s a very easy trail but don’t forget to bring water at least with you to rehydrate as Seychelles is quite warm/hot even.
