Situated a mere kilometer south of the famed Anse Source d’Argent in La Digue's southwestern quadrant, Anse Pierrot unfolds as a coastal dream. Clear, shallow waters beckon, while generous tree canopies provide respite from the sun, making it a haven for families. Yet, the shifting tides bring an element of surprise, often reclaiming the beach at high tide, making the waters meet the treeline. Accessing this picturesque locale requires a nominal fee, as it sits within the confines of the Union Estate. However, the journey is part of the charm, especially during low tide when one can tread the coral bridge connecting it to Anse Source d’Argent. Pack your beach shoes though! At Anse Pierrot, the shimmering ocean, conspiring with the dappled shade, promises leisure and recreation. While it lacks direct facilities, those of the Union Estate are comfortably within reach. The beach's natural aesthetics, accentuated by rock formations and the looming glacis, serve as a backdrop for countless snapshots. Often overlooked in the race to more famed neighbours, Anse Pierrot stands as a serene alternative, offering unparalleled tranquility and scenic splendor.
This beach is usually quiet, with many visitors merely passing through on their way to Anse Marron. Ideal for families due to its abundant shade and clear shallow waters. Walking is the main mode of access. Bike stands and parking are at Anse Source d’Argent, roughly 1 km away. The easiest approach is from the sea during low tide, walking on the coral from Anse Source d’Argent (shoes recommended). Trees offer ample sun protection.
