About
Madirokely is a beach on Nosy Be, the island off the north-west coast of Madagascar, in Africa. It is one of the island's better-known places to spend a day by the sea, and it suits visitors who want to combine time in the water with a relaxed meal.
What to do
- Swimming, in water that is calm and well suited to a leisurely dip.
- Water sports, with kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding among the activities the calm water allows.
- Beachfront dining, with beach bars serving drinks and food.
The atmosphere
The beach is known for its sunsets, and many visitors stay on after the afternoon heat to watch the light change over the water from one of the beachfront tables. Because the sea is gentle, it works equally well for a quiet afternoon with a book or a more active morning on the paddleboard.
Madirokely is a sensible choice for a visitor who wants a straightforward beach day on Nosy Be, with the sea, a few water activities and a sunset meal all within easy reach of one another. Those who want a longer stay on the island can use it as a base for the rest of the day's plans.
