Your wedding band went missing during photos at Anse Source d'Argent

Anse Source d'Argent has soft white sand, clear turquoise water and huge granite boulders shaped by the elements, and photographers and film makers still come for them. It is one of the busiest beaches in the Seychelles. L'Union Estate, the landmark located at Anse Source d'Argent, is a coconut and vanilla plantation with a plantation house and giant tortoises. If the band could have gone at the estate too, mention the parts of it you walked through.

Anse Pierrot is in the south-west of La Digue, inside the Union Estate, and you reach it through the estate. Its water is clear and shallow, rocks line the beach and trees give shade. Many visitors pass through on the way to Anse Marron, on the southern tip, which has shallow, protected water for paddling among granite and is a little difficult to find.

The ferries come in at the jetty at La Passe, and the village around it has houses, shops and bicycle hire. La Passe Beach, between the jetty and Anse Réunion, is small, with fishing boats at anchor, a lighthouse in the bay and a little park and the main road behind. For a loss between the boat and the bike, list your stops through the village. Inland on the western plateau, the Veuve Special Reserve keeps a patch of the original lowland forest of the island, with a visitor centre and staff who help people find the black paradise flycatcher.

Anse Sévère, in the north of La Digue, faces Praslin, with shallow water for an easy swim and reef and coral off the coast for snorkelling. Anse Patates, on the northernmost tip, has soft white sand and calm sea, with the road close by. It borders the longer Anse Gaulettes, so say whether it was Patates or Gaulettes.

Anse Grosse Roche, on the east coast, has shallow water with Grosse Roche looming behind, and the road reaches it. It looks out to the Sister islands, Félicité and Marianne. Anse Banane, also on the east coast, faces the open Indian Ocean. It is easy to get to, the water is not particularly deep, and the sand is slightly coarser than on many La Digue beaches.

Grand Anse, on the south-east coast, has powdery white sand bordered by granite boulders, and turquoise water that is deep. It draws few visitors besides body boarders. Petite Anse, a short walk away, has much the same scenery, deep water, no coral reef and very few visitors on most days. Anse Songe, next to Grand Anse, is a very small beach with deep, choppy water.

Anse Cocos, on the east coast, is reached only on foot, by a path from Grand Anse or from Anse Fourmis. Anse Caïman lies between Anse Fourmis and Anse Cocos, and the easier way in is from Anse Cocos. An abandoned house and a shed for wooden boats stand behind it, the beach is almost always empty, and the water is shallow in parts and especially deep in others.

La Digue is a stepping-stone to Félicité, a steep granite island, and to the Sisters. Grande Soeur, or East Sister, lies across the deep-water channel and is shaped like a figure of eight, with a beach at its narrow middle. The only beach on Petite Soeur, or West Sister, is hard to reach except when the sea is at its calmest. Boats from La Digue and Praslin also run snorkelling trips to the Ile Cocos Marine National Park, the three small islets of Ile Cocos, Ile La Fouche and Ilot Plate in crystal-clear water, where Ile Cocos has a white sandy beach that appears at low tide. If you spent a day out here, name the island and the beach you landed on, or where the boat stopped for the snorkel.
