10. Plage de Moya
This is a small beach, most of which is covered by high tides. The area is not particularly clean, though the beach itself is relatively clean. Having spent a week on Grande Comore, and living on Mayotte for a few months, I don’t think I appreciated Moya as much as I should have, because it doesn’t measure up to the beaches on the rest of the islands in this archipelago, so I’m a bit disappointed that I had to travel so far to find it. If you’re not from mainland France and don’t miss the beach at all, it’s best to focus on the wood and the sumptuous mountains on the Anjou side of the island. – Comoros Places
