The fourth-largest island in the Seychelles is La Digue Island. Known for its dramatic landscapes, it treats visitors to some of the most surreal and mysterious rock formations anywhere in the archipelago. These rocks stretch down from the lush hills right to the sea. At the centre of the island is Veuve Nature Reserve, home to the extremely rare black paradise flycatcher. The reserve is a treasured destination for ornithologists. The island's emphatic mix of nature, birds and rock outcroppings makes it a hot spot for photographers as well. La Digue Island hotels range from the upscale to more modest bungalow resorts. The squeaky white beaches that ring the island are almost too pretty to believe. The permanent population has created a decent tourism infrastructure, so that visitors will find a full range of places to sleep, eat and drink. Water sports equipment is typically rented from the beachside resorts.
