What to see in Nosy Be

1. Plage d'Andilana
   This is one of Nosy Be's long white-sand beaches on the west coast, open and unhurried, where you feel the island's rhythm most clearly.
2. Nosy Komba (lémuriens)
   Nosy Komba is a small volcanic island covered in forest and fishing villages, home to a population of black lemurs (Eulemur macaco) used to people.
3. Nosy Tanikely (réserve marine, snorkeling)
   A small island a short boat ride from Nosy Be, Nosy Tanikely is home to a marine reserve whose coral reefs can be reached straight from the surface.
4. Mont Passot (coucher de soleil)
   Mont Passot overlooks Hell-Ville and the coast of Nosy Be.
5. Réserve de Lokobe
   This is one of the few places on Nosy Be where humid tropical forest is still dense enough to feel far from the coast.
6. Hell-Ville (marché)
   Hell-Ville's market is where everyday life in Nosy Be's main town is on full display, far from the beaches and tour routes.
7. Nosy Iranja
   Nosy Iranja is made of two islands joined by white sandbanks that only appear at low tide, so it feels as if you are walking across the sea.
8. Ambatoloaka (plage & bars)
   Ambatoloaka is the liveliest beach on Nosy Be's west coast, with a row of bars and restaurants set right on the sand.
