Plage galawa, Beach in Mitsamiouli, Comoros
The white sand beach extends along the northwest coast of Grande Comore island, bordered by the clear waters of the Indian Ocean.
In 1996, Ethiopian Airlines Flight 961 crash-landed in waters near Le Galawa Beach Hotel, leading to significant rescue efforts from local residents.
Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing practices along the shore, contributing to the regional economy and maritime heritage of Mitsamiouli.
The beach provides facilities including lifeguard services, bathroom amenities, parking spaces, and rental options for beach chairs and umbrellas.
The nearby Lac Sale Crater contains seawater within its ancient volcanic walls, creating an unusual geographical feature beside the coastal landscape.
