The beach is spacious and windy, perfect for kite surfers. The scenery is beautiful, but it may not be the best spot for a relaxing day by the ocean. We enjoyed a leisurely stroll along the shore.

This beach is amazing! It's perfect for surfers, but definitely worth checking out even if you're not into surfing. You can take a walk through the three nearby bays, which is highly recommended.

This beach in Diego Suarez, Madagascar is absolutely stunning, clean, and untouched. There are three bays here, with Sakalava being one of them. The beauty of this beach is indescribable. During our visit, there were no other visitors besides our group, making it feel like our own private paradise. The cleanliness of the beach exceeded our expectations, likely due to the lack of tourism and the responsible tourists who have visited so far. This beach is well-known for kite surfing, a popular water sport. You may come across some local handicraft sellers here, offering souvenirs at reasonable prices. We even spotted some chameleons near the beach. The beach is lined with large rock formations created by water currents. Don't miss the oversized wooden bench on the beach, perfect for capturing fun, memorable, and Instagram-worthy photos! 😁
