About La Digue
La Digue is a small Seychelles island that has made a name for itself with its car-free policy, which encourages people to explore by bicycle or on foot. The result is a place where you can find iconic beaches like Anse Source d'Argent, with its striking granite boulders, and Anse Severe, a slightly quieter spot ideal for swimming. Life here revolves around the slow pace; the only sound is likely to be the gentle rustle of palm fronds, broken only by the occasional cyclist passing by. Most visitors come for the beaches and tranquility, but don’t be surprised if you find yourself sharing space with local goats that seem to take full advantage of the lack of traffic regulations.
Who it's for
Ideal for those seeking relaxation and scenery, perfect for beach lovers and cyclists. Not suitable for anyone expecting a nightlife or extensive public transport options, as the island is small and quite laid-back, which might feel slow for those used to cities.
Getting around
Public transport: Moderate
- The island is about 5 kilometers long, so you can walk from end to end in about an hour if you feel like it
- Most visitors rent bicycles, which are readily available, and it's the best way to see the island
- The ferry from Praslin takes about 15 minutes, and the airport is on Praslin, so plan accordingly
