Kande Beach, Public beach and hostel complex in Nkhata Bay, Malawi.
Kande Beach is a public shoreline and lodging complex on Lake Malawi's northern edge in Nkhata Bay. The water here remains shallow and clear, with sandy entry points suitable for swimmers.
The site became known in the 1990s when backpackers discovered this northern shoreline section of Lake Malawi. The lodging facilities grew from these early visits to become the current establishment.
Local artisans sell handmade jewelry and carved wooden items along the shore, showcasing traditional craft skills of the region. Visitors can watch and purchase these pieces directly from the makers.
You can reach the beach by public transport that stops near the main road running through the area. Asking locally about drop-off points helps you find the best route in.
A dive school on the grounds offers certification courses in the lake's fresh waters, which hold hundreds of fish species found nowhere else on earth. The biodiversity here draws divers seeking experience in a unique ecosystem.
