Hidden in La Digue's southern embrace, the secluded Anse Bonnet Carré remains untouched by the usual tourist bustle. Most adventurers brush past en route to Anse Marron, often guided by seasoned locals who navigate the treacherous, slippery granite paths. Entrance to this isolated sanctuary is through the Union Estate, demanding a fee of 100 Rupees. Though bereft of modern facilities, its shallows beckon snorkellers, but caution is advised against unpredictable wave patterns. Its unspoiled aura offers a serene escape for the wanderer, yet, its challenging route suggests seeking local expertise for a safe journey.

Secluded beach in the island's south with shallow waters and a part-coralline foundation. A granite pathway leads to it; caution is advised as it becomes slippery when wet. Typically, visitors come with a guide heading to Anse Marron. Entrance through the Union Estate costs 100 Seychelles Rupees daily. It's approximately 1.5 km from the estate. The easiest approach is from the sea at low tide via Anse Source d’Argent or Anse Pierrot. Trees provide shade.
