Nestled at the southern tip of La Digue, Anse Marron mesmerizes with its unique blend of golden sand, imposing granite boulders, and pristine saltwater pools. Unlike many of its counterparts, the absence of a coral reef makes its waters deepen swiftly. Yet, nature's architecture has carved out a shallow saltwater oasis, cocooned by those majestic granite formations, offering a tranquil haven for paddling. Reaching this hidden gem demands a spirit of adventure. The slippery terrains and elusive trails often necessitate the guidance of a seasoned tour guide. While its journey might challenge the unseasoned traveller, discouraging families with young ones, the reward is a photographer's dream. Vistas of sand, stone, and sea converge, creating postcard-perfect frames. The lack of a protective coral reef does imply caution for those tempted by the deeper ocean, but the sheltered pockets provide a safe splash for many. To truly unlock the magic of Anse Marron, the wisdom of a local guide is indispensable.
A moderately-sized beach in La Digue's south, featuring both an open, deeper section and a protected shallow pool. Access requires a somewhat challenging hike, making it less family-friendly. Reachable by foot, about 2 km from Anse Source d’Argent, typically with a tour guide, as the beach is otherwise hard to locate. It's among the best photography spots on the island.
