Ramena Beach

Ramena Beach is a sandy coastline in the Diana Region on Madagascar's northern shore, with palm trees, fishing boats, and several kilometers of waterfront. The water here offers three distinct zones for swimming and exploring: the protected bay, the open Indian Ocean, and an emerald-colored lagoon.

The area evolved from a small fishing settlement into a destination after French naval forces established a presence in nearby Antsiranana. This external influence gradually shaped its growth and importance.

Local fishermen launch wooden boats daily from the sand and sell their catches directly to visitors and residents. This working tradition shapes how the beach looks and feels throughout the day.

Reach the beach via an 18-kilometer paved road from Antsiranana using taxi services or organized tours. Plan time for the drive and ask locally about the best times for water activities and observing the fishing boats.

The beach provides access to three water zones that feel completely different from one another, each offering distinct swimming and exploration experiences. This arrangement lets you encounter multiple marine settings in one location.
