Seychelles Anse Source d'Argent

A true paradise for photographers! The various beach bays with the impressive granite rocks offer countless opportunities to photograph here. This place might be the best known beach in the world. Just by advertising and movies some views might seem familiar to you.

I am a big fan of long exposures and have uploaded two pictures for this spot and you are able to compare by yourself. The motiv doesn't necessarily win and therefore a camera with a wide angle lens is enough for great pictures.

Take your pictures during midday hours as the colors come out especially nice. Unfortunately, my month of travel (August) was not particularly good for this because there were often overcast skies/diffused light. On top of that, the sea was rather choppy...

You should be there at low tide for the shots from the water. There are also plenty of opportunities at high tide!

One pays an entrance fee of 115 SCR/7 EUR (current: August 2021) for the L'Union Estate Park. From the gate you can continue by bike to the beach access.

By the way, it is also worth to look at the rest of the park.

You could also walk next to the helipad in the sea at low tide, but for the way back you would have to go through the park in any case. Stay fair and pay the low entrance fee to support this place and all who work in it!
