Beach overall scores
Anse Source d'Argent Beach (Seychelles) is located outside the Baie Sainte Anne settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the coast of the Digue island, but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"It's evident why this beach is highly praised by visitors. The harmonious combination of granite boulders, soft sand, and the vast sea creates an idyllic and breathtaking scenery. Despite only having a brief 90-minute visit during a guided tour, the experience was undoubtedly valuable and memorable."
Nathanial Anderson.
"The beach is truly stunning and definitely worth a visit, but be prepared for crowds and a bit of a walk to find some solitude. At low tide, there are plenty of rocks and not much water near the sand, so keep that in mind if you plan on hiking along the beach for photo opportunities and to admire the rock formations. Swimming may not be the best option here."
