About This Guide
La Digue is the most unspoiled of the inner Seychelles islands — small enough to cross by bicycle in 20 minutes, with a pace of life that seems entirely unconcerned with modernity. Anse Source d'Argent's sculptural pink granite boulders rising from shallow turquoise water have appeared on countless album covers and advertisements.
