Plage de Sohoa, Sandy beach in Chiconi, Mayotte
The beach stretches along the western coast of Mayotte, featuring a mix of light brown sand and clear waters of the Indian Ocean.
The beach area has served as a traditional landing point for local fishing boats, supporting the maritime activities of Mayotte communities for generations.
Local residents gather at Sohoa Beach during weekends to prepare traditional Mahorais barbecues while children play football on the designated field.
Visitors can access Sohoa Beach through municipal buses or minibuses, with peak visiting hours occurring between May and October during the dry season.
During low tide, the beach reveals small temporary islands that emerge from the water, creating natural walking paths across the ocean floor.
