Anse Gaulettes, a northern jewel of La Digue, is an elongated expanse of sand caught between nature's road and her ocean. While the allure of the waters might be tempting, they conceal a treacherous side. The currents, particularly during high tide, can be powerful, urging travellers to resist the urge to swim. For those keen on access, walking, cycling, or driving are all equally pleasurable means to reach this oasis. With the coastal road painting a scenic parallel, every journey becomes a visual treat. Anse Gaulettes lies near notable accommodations like Patatran, nestled comfortably between the picturesque Anse Patates and Anse Grosse Roche. Enhancing its charm is an art gallery at its southern end, ensuring that art enthusiasts and beach lovers can find common ground. For the gourmets, a delightful snack bar at Anse Grosse Roche promises palatable delights. As you lay on the beach, let your eyes wander to the horizon where the silhouettes of Petite Soeur, Grande Soeur, Felicité, and Mariane islands dance. The beach's signature long wall and the historically rich orange orchard further enrich the tapestry of experiences. In essence, Anse Gaulettes, with its shifting sands and diverse attractions, promises a memorable day under the Seychelles sky.
A lengthy, slender sandy stretch ideal for sunbathing. Swimming is discouraged due to potent undercurrents and rough waters. At high tide, the beach gets submerged, with currents potentially pulling one out to sea. The beach isn't child-friendly due to the robust currents and coralline surface. Suitable for sunbathing; there's also an art gallery and a nearby snack bar. Some trees provide sun protection.
