Nosy Sakatia, Island in northwest Madagascar
Nosy Sakatia extends over 6 kilometers in length and 2 kilometers in width, surrounded by coral reefs off the coast of Nosy Be.
The island served as a sanctuary for individuals escaping from mainland plantations during periods of colonial rule in Madagascar's history.
Local residents maintain traditional fishing practices and cultivate vanilla, coffee, and orchids across their small agricultural fields.
Visitors reach the island through a 10-minute boat journey from Nosy Be, with excursions available throughout the year for marine life observation.
The waters around Nosy Sakatia function as a feeding ground for green turtles, which can be observed through snorkeling activities in shallow areas.
