Mtsanga Saziley, Beach in Mayotte, France
Mtsanga Saziley is a white sand beach on the southern coast of Mayotte, lined with baobab trees and native vegetation. The shoreline borders shallow, clear water along a sheltered bay.
The beach became part of the Mayotte Marine Natural Park in 2010, designating it within a wider protected marine area. This action recognized the ecological value of the coastal zone.
The beach is a gathering place where local fishing traditions remain part of daily life. Simple shelters by the water reflect how island residents maintain their connection to the sea.
The beach is accessible by foot along a marked trail from M'tsamoudou village or by boat. Bring plenty of water and watch the tides, as they affect swimming conditions throughout the day.
The beach serves as a nesting ground where sea turtles come ashore at night to lay eggs in the sand. Special observation areas allow visitors to witness this rare natural event from a safe distance.

Mayotte is an archipelago in the Indian Ocean with a varied landscape of volcanic lakes, sandy beaches, and protected natural areas. The islands host coral reefs, mangrove forests, and marine habitats that invite exploration. Historic mosques such as Tsingoni and busy fish markets display the island's cultural side, while viewpoints and waterfalls like Cascade de Soulou offer scenic views. On Petite-Terre, beaches such as Moya and Musicale sit near Dziani Dzaha Crater Lake, a notable body of water of volcanic origin. Mount Choungui on Grande-Terre offers hiking opportunities with views across the island. The Sentier des Baobabs leads through landscapes with ancient trees and shows the region's natural flora. The coastline draws visitors with many beaches including N'Gouja, Saziley, and Tahiti Beach, while nature reserves such as Saziley National Park and Chissioua M'bouzi Reserve shelter uncommon species. The M'Tsamboro Islands and Sable Blanc Islet are popular destinations for water sports and snorkeling. Longoni Harbor and smaller bays such as Chirongui Bay show the maritime life of island residents.
