Anse Cocos is located on the eastern coast of La Digue, just a short distance from Petite Anse. The beach features golden sand, shallow natural pools, and plenty of shade from palm trees, making it a peaceful spot to relax and enjoy the water. While swimming is best suited for confident swimmers, the calm waters in the natural pools are generally safe. Accessible by a 30-minute walk from Grand Anse or a path starting from Anse Fourmis, the beach is quiet, with only a handful of visitors on most days. Anse Cocos is also historically significant, as it was one of the island's first settlements, with remnants of old copra production buildings and a kiln still visible nearby. Despite its lack of facilities, the scenic beauty and tranquil atmosphere make it a rewarding destination for nature lovers and photographers.

    Best beach on La Digue in our opinion. However, if it is rainy season then you are likely to have to walk through two swamps to get there so be ready and don’t wear nice shoes… I ended up taking off my trainers and doing the hike between Anse Petite and Coco barefoot. I survived, but a couple of uncomfortable parts with sharp little balls that feels like your stepping on Legos. But besides that, super incredible once you get there and the snorkelling in the rock pool was awesome

    Absolutely mind-blowing beach. One of my favourites in La Digue. Not very easy to reach, be prepared to sweat a lot. Bring water and put your shoes on. You can bike to Grande Anse, then you will take the trail to Petite Anse (10/15 minutes in the jungle) and then it’s another 15/20 minutes to reach Anse Cocos. It’s worth it. There’s also a bar that serves fresh fruit, grilled fish, coconuts. I’d recommend to leave the beach around 16.30/17 so you still have enough light on the way back.

    It takes a bit to get here (bike ride to Grand Anse , hike past Petite Anse, then about another 20 minute hike). It's deserted as hell. There is a pretty strong rip, so if you're not a strong swimmer stay out of the water until you go past the rocks to the natural wading pool.
