Nestled on the east coast of La Digue, Anse Fourmis finds its home between the tranquil Anse Banane and secluded Anse Caïman. A beach often untouched by many, it's a tapestry of sun-soaked sands where sunbathers stretch out and families find solace beneath the towering Takamaka trees. Although the coral-protected waters might beckon, caution is advised. The shallow waters at low tide and strong currents at high tide deter swimmers and snorkellers alike. Transportation here is a breeze, whether by foot, bike, or taxi. Despite its remote essence, it's still comfortably accessible. Cycling enthusiasts will cherish a tour around the island’s northern beaches, while an intriguing path from Anse Fourmis leads adventurers to Anse Cocos in the south and onwards to the majestic Grand Anse and Petite Anse. A cherry on top is its proximity to Anse Banane, home to convenient shops and a delightful snack bar. With takamaka trees casting cool shades and the abandoned road skirting the beach adding a pinch of intrigue, this beach is a perfect destination for those yearning for relaxation in a paradisiacal setting. Dive into the Seychelles culture and educate the little ones about the enchanting flora and fauna here. Conclusively, Anse Fourmis is a sunbather's haven, a sheltered sanctuary under the Seychelles sun where the song of the waves and the whispering leaves become one.
Peaceful beach, popular among sunbathers and suitable for families. Shallow waters are available for bathing, but swimming can be challenging due to exposed coral (low tide) and powerful currents (high tide). Access is by foot, bike, or taxi, with the road ending at Anse Fourmis. Nearby Anse Banane has a few shops and a snack bar. The natural shade and fascinating fauna and coral are attractions, especially for kids.
