Nosy Iranja

Best period

avr–nov

Recommended duration

2 nights

Two islets linked by a sandbar that surfaces at low tide, south of Nosy Be. Day-trippers come and go until mid-afternoon. After 4pm, only the handful of travellers staying overnight remain — and the sand turning pink at sunset.

Experiences on site

Walk the sandbar barefoot at low tide
Watch turtles nesting between May and October

The planner's tip

Book a night on the island rather than a day trip — it's the only way to see the sandbar empty.
