Ouallah Beaches
Ouallah
Quiet beaches and shallow coral reefs around Ouallah village on Mohéli's southwest coast, fringed by coconut palms and ideal for swimming and snorkeling. A few eco-lodges are nearby.
The Ouallah area lies on Mohéli's southwest coast and is split into Ouallah 1 and Ouallah 2. Coconut groves and basalt rocks divide the beaches into small coves. The water is clear, and coral reefs lie close to shore. At low tide, snorkelers can spot parrotfish, starfish and sea turtles, and you will hardly meet other tourists. The area is part of the national park's marine zone and is one of the starting points for hikes into the mountain forest from the west. A few eco-cabins and guesthouses are nearby. From Fomboni it takes about an hour by car, and some stretches of road are potholed. This is a conservative Muslim community, so dress modestly when swimming near the village and do not step on the coral.
