Itsandra Beach
Plage d'Itsandra
A white-sand bay north of Moroni, the weekend beach of the capital's residents, backed by the old town of Itsandra and a sultan's fort.
Itsandra Beach lies about 5 km from central Moroni and is where capital residents go most often on weekends. White sand alternates with black lava reefs, and the clear water is good for swimming and snorkeling. On the hillside, the old town of Itsandra was once the capital of a sultanate, and remnants of its fortified walls survive. There are hotels and restaurants by the beach. It is easily reached by taxi, and it gets crowded on weekends.
