Where the golden embrace of the sand meets playful waves in the east of La Digue, Anse Cocos awaits. Fringed with swaying palm shadows and dotted with serene natural pools, it invites travellers for an afternoon of undisturbed bliss. However, the sea, in its unpredictable mood swings, welcomes only the expert swimmers to dive deep. A journey through time and terrain brings you here—from Grand Anse's vicinity or the northern path starting at Anse Fourmis. Yet, this beach holds more than just natural attraction. Remnants of its history as La Digue's pioneer settlement—the ghostly shadows of abandoned edifices and an old coconut kiln—whisper tales of its storied past. With its pristine beauty juxtaposed against silent testimonies of old, Anse Cocos promises more than just sun and sand—it offers a tryst with time itself.

Stunning sandy beach in La Digue's east, featuring shallow waters at low tide and a natural swimming pool. Accessible on foot, with pathways from both Grand Anse and Anse Fourmis. The closest bike stands and snack bar are at Grand Anse, a 30-40 minutes' walk. Trees offer some sun protection.
