In order to get to the Anse Source d'Argent, one passes L'Union Estate, where one has to pay an entrance fee, but among other things, one can also visit an old copra mill. There are also some tortoises to see, a coconut palm plantation, a colonial presidential villa and an old cemetery where some of the first settlers are buried. This is also where the helicopter lands when you arrive or depart this way.
Beautiful beaches can also be found at Anse Coco and at Grand' Anse and Petit' Anse. These beaches are located on the south-eastern side of the island and can be reached on foot by walking a little further around the island from the Anse Source d'Argent. At low tide, you can wade through the water to some extent, but you have to be careful that the tide might cut off this way back. It is possible to walk around the island. For such an approximately 10 km long tour, which does not exclusively lead over paved and well recognizable paths, one must estimate at least four hours.
In the interior of the island, one can climb the inselberg Nid d'Aigle ("Eagle's Nest"), if only to get a good overview of the island world from a height of approximately 333 metres above sea level. La Digue is also the home of the extremely rare Paradise Flycatcher, a small bird that "owns" its own nature reserve in the centre of the island, which bears its Creole name (vev = widow) and where two small, very rare species of marsh turtles can also be found.
