Kande Beach, Public beach and hostel complex in Nkhata Bay, Malawi.
The water of Lake Malawi at Kande Beach maintains clean conditions, making it suitable for swimming with its shallow depth and absence of rocks.
The establishment of Kande Beach as a tourist destination occurred when backpackers discovered this section of Lake Malawi's northern shoreline in the 1990s.
Local craftspeople sell traditional Malawian wood carvings and handmade jewelry along the beachfront, representing regional artistic traditions.
Travelers can reach Kande Beach via public transport that stops on the main road, located 3 kilometers from the beach facilities.
The on-site dive school provides certification courses in Lake Malawi's fresh waters, home to hundreds of fish species found nowhere else.
