Hey, you gotta hear this! This beach called Source D' ARGEANT is like, the best in the world or something. The water's super shallow and full of corals, and there are so many fish to see. It's perfect for people who aren't great swimmers or are trying it for the first time. And the crowd is really cool too. It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience, I'm telling you. If you can afford it, you should definitely go. The only way to get there is by ferry from the main island, Mahe.

Nice place to visit, just drive the main road down on LaDigue to this park. You have to pay an entrance fee (valid all day) of 150SCR pp. You‘ll also the access to the famous beach Anse Source D‘Argent. Nice beach but compared to others quite crowded (which we didn‘t like). You get some food and drinks there (cocktails, fruits, beer, water, etc.). Walk alongside of the beach to get to the less crowded areas.

Not taxing to potter around the estate on your bike. Do pop to see Plantation house, and there is a shop/art gallery below with good local flower oils at a reasonable price. All this on the way back from the most beautiful beaches of Anse D'Argeant. Tortoises too and the odd scheduled event.
