Morondava Beach (Nosy Kely)
Nosy Kely
A long, narrow sand spit west of Morondava town, home to most of its hotels and seafood restaurants, with sunsets over the Mozambique Channel.
Nosy Kely is the sand spit between the Morondava River mouth and the ocean, and most of the town's hotels and restaurants are here. The beach is wide, fishing boats come and go, and in the evening you can watch the sun set over the sea. It is a good place to rest for a day after visiting the baobabs. Coastal erosion is severe, and some stretches are protected by breakwaters. The water is murky and there are undertows, so swim with caution. Vendors often wander the sand, and grilled seafood and coconut fish are worth trying.
