Grande Anse, Coastal beach in La Digue, Seychelles.
The silver sand beach extends along La Digue's southern coast, featuring granite formations at its edges and tropical vegetation near the shore.
The beach gained recognition in the 1970s when the first accommodation facilities were constructed on La Digue island to support tourism development.
Local fishermen maintain their traditional practices near Grande Anse, using wooden boats to catch fish during early morning hours.
Visitors can reach Grande Anse by bicycle from La Passe village, following the signs through a 20-minute uphill ride across the island.
The beach experiences strong waves throughout the year due to its location without coral reef protection, making it different from other Seychelles beaches.
