Three Baies

The Three Bays, located near Diego-Suarez, are a chain of paradisiacal coves formed by the Bay of Sakalava, the Bay of Pigeons, and the Bay of Dunes. These bays are named after the bird species that once frequented them and the unique shapes of the coastal landscape. Historically, they were used by French sailors as lookout points and by pirates as hideouts. Today, they are known for their unspoiled beauty and wild atmosphere. The beaches are bordered by dunes, mangroves, and rocky cliffs offering breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean. The constant wind makes Sakalava Bay a popular spot for kitesurfing. Visitors can enjoy coastal hiking, explore deserted beaches, birdwatching, or simply swimming in crystal-clear waters. These bays are perfect for sea lovers, tranquility seekers, and scenic photography.
