The abandoned buildings and the natural pool with crystal-clear water add up to make Anse Cocos a beautiful, enchanting location on La Digue, and one that is especially good for budding photographers.
Anse Cocos can be found in the east of La Digue, just along the coast from Petite Anse. Offering golden sand, shallow natural pool water, and shade thanks to the palm trees, it’s perfectly possible to spend a whole afternoon here, relaxing on the beach and paddling in the water. Swimming should be reserved for confident swimmers only, but if you stick to the protected natural pools of water, you should have no problems. The sea is generally calm here, but during the south-east trade winds, the waves can be large enough that they shift the sand a little.
