Chintheche Strip
Chintheche
A tranquil stretch of lakeshore south of Nkhata Bay, with long white beaches and lakeside cottages. It is quieter than the bay and ideal for unwinding.
Chintheche lies about 35 km south of Nkhata Bay. Along the M5 road, several lakeside cottages and campsites are spread along the shore. The beaches are long, white and uncrowded, the lake water is clear, and it is perfect for swimming, lounging in hammocks and taking sunset walks. The old Bandawe Mission site nearby is worth a visit. From Nkhata Bay it is about 40 minutes by minibus, and most visitors choose a lakeside guesthouse for a night or two.
