Île Sainte-Marie (Nosy Boraha)

Lagoons, humpback whales and pirate heritage on the East Coast.

Off the East Coast, Sainte-Marie charms with beaches, reefs and — from July to September — humpback whale watching. The pirates’ cemetery, Île aux Nattes and fishing villages make for a more understated beach stay than Nosy Be, reached by plane or boat from Soanierana Ivongo.
