• Snorkelling in calm conditions near the shore
• Wildlife spotting: reef fish, shore birds and occasional crabs
• Relaxing and picnicking (pack out what you bring in)

Transition months with typically calmer seas — April to May and October to November — are often best for snorkelling and safer access. The southeast coast can be rough during the strong southeast trade winds (May–September) and during the northwest season (October–March) winds and swell patterns change, so check local conditions.

Tropical maritime climate: warm year-round (average 24–30°C). Two main seasons: cooler, drier southeast trade-wind period (May–September) and warmer, wetter northwest period (October–March). Isolated showers possible any time of year.

Accessible from La Digue island. Typical route: reach La Digue by ferry from Praslin or Mahé, rent a bicycle or walk to the southern coast, then hike/scramble along the coast from Anse Cocos or Grand Anse (trail includes uneven paths and boulder sections). Not suitable for wheelchairs or less-mobile visitors. No public transport to the exact spot; local boat access is possible but uncommon. Follow local guides or signage where available.

Half-day to a full day depending on how much hiking, swimming and photography you plan—combine with visits to nearby beaches (Anse Cocos, Grand Anse and Anse Source d'Argent on La Digue for a full-day circuit).

Sturdy water shoes or reef shoes for walking on wet rocks, comfortable hiking sandals, lightweight quick-dry clothing, hat and sunglasses, reef-safe sunscreen, snorkel mask (optional), dry bag, plenty of water, basic first-aid items and a phone with offline maps or a downloaded trail route.

Try local Creole dishes on La Digue: grilled fish, octopus curry, coconut-based curries, and breadfruit preparations. For souvenirs: locally made vanilla products, coconut oil and soaps, handmade baskets and wood or shell crafts (avoid removing shells or corals from the beach).
