Kande Beach
A long sandy beach about 45 km south of Nkhata Bay, a classic stop on trans-African overland truck tours, with horse rides into the lake and diving.
Kande Beach is a long stretch of white sand on the western shore of Lake Malawi. It is famous as a stop for trans-African overland truck tours. The beach camp has a bar and a dive centre, and visitors can ride horses along the sand into the lake, go snorkelling, or visit nearby islands. The waters around Kande Island opposite the beach are good for diving to see cichlids. From Nkhata Bay it is about an hour's drive south along the M5 road. You can stay overnight or make a day trip.
