The forty-five minute hike to reach it and the small size of this beach might seem like cons, but in reality it means that the vast hoards of tourists are swiftly narrowed down to a handful of intrepid visitors, and lends the beach a sense of private seclusion that many would find worth the journey.

Originally one of very first settlements on La Digue, there was once a huge copra production plant situated in a small village here. The vestiges of this civilization still remain in the form of abandoned buildings and a disused kiln. Little pools of crystal clear water are littered throughout the bay, perfect for wading in or reading a book in the shade of the palm trees while soaking your feet in the cool water. There’s really no need to be jealous of millionaire’s and their private island, when the very same standard of tropical paradise is offered right here for free!
