Plage de Moya, White sand beach in Pamandzi, Mayotte.

The beach extends along the eastern coast of Mayotte, featuring white sand shores bordered by native coastal vegetation and clear Indian Ocean waters.

The beach represents the easternmost point of Mayotte, a French overseas department that became part of France's territorial collectivities in 2011.

Local Mahoraise women gather at the beach during low tide to practice traditional fishing methods passed down through generations.

Visitors can access the beach without entrance fees and participate in guided boat excursions to observe marine life including dolphins and turtles.

The location offers direct views of passing humpback whales during their annual migration between July and October in the Mozambique Channel.
