La Digue is one of the Inner Islands of Seychelles, in the Indian Ocean, and the fourth-largest island in the country. It has no airport; most visitors arrive by ferry, usually from Praslin, while some services connect with Mahé. That approach matters: a stay here is not simply a beach stop but a change of scale, from the main islands’ transport hubs to a compact community shaped by the coast.
Tourism Seychelles describes La Digue as practically motor-free, though that should not be read as a promise that no service or work vehicles exist. Bicycles, walking and locally operated carts are the familiar ways to move around. The island’s main road curves around much of its perimeter, while smaller lanes and paths lead toward beaches, homes and estate grounds. Renting a bicycle near arrival is convenient, but check brakes, lights and tires before setting off.
