GRAND ANSE

Grand Anse - the big bay. Like almost all beaches on La Digue a beautiful photo motive. The sand is finest light powder sand. The sea drops steeply in parts and there is often a strong surf with life-threatening undercurrents. Bathing is not recommended there, especially during the south-east monsoon! On weekends, however, you can often see a few young local men surfing.
There is hardly any shade here.

The picturesque beach is surrounded by large granite rocks, but unfortunately the sea here is not suitable for swimming due to the huge waves, and warning signs on the beach explicitly point out the dangers. Although the sea here may seem inviting, there are strong undercurrents with dangerous undertow effects - so don't be tempted! - How to get there: Turn right at the boat landing at La Passe and follow the main road to the turn-off opposite the school. Turn left, pass the Zerof restaurant (on your left), then turn right and follow the road until you reach Grand' Anse beach.
