The mangrove forests capture river-borne sediment that would smother coastal reefs, while reefs buffer the mangroves from pounding surf. Along the northwest coast of Madagascar, mangroves and coral reefs partner up to create dynamic, diverse coastal ecosystems. In fact, Bombetoka Bay is home to some of Madagascar’s largest remaining communities of mangroves, which provide shelter for diverse mollusk and crustacean communities, as well as habitat for sea turtles, birds, and dugongs. Dense vegetation is deep green.Īlong coastlines and on the islands, the vegetation is predominantly mangrove forests. In the image, water is sapphire and tinged with pink where sediment is particularly thick. This image from the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) on NASA’s Terra satellite shows Bombetoka Bay just upstream of where it opens up into the Mozambique Channel, which separates Madagascar from Africa to the west. Numerous islands and sandbars have formed in the estuary from the large amount of sediment carried in by the Betsiboka River and have been shaped by the flow of the river and the push and pull of tides. There are some parking spaces along the road as well as about twenty in the fee paying car park.įacing the sea, you will see the path for Acquarilli on your right.On the northwestern coast of Madagascar, the salty waters of the Mozambique Channel penetrate inland to join with the freshwater outflow of the Betsiboka River, forming Bombetoka Bay. Go past the signs for Norsi beach until you get to the promontory on the left that is clearly signposted because it was made into a fee paying car park in 2016. Take the main road from Portoferraio to Porto Azzurro, then take the junction for Lacona. In 2015, the Capoliveri Town Council made this legal, so since then nudists are allowed on Acquarilli beach.
But the fact that it isn't an easy beach to get to has meant that it has always been the perfect place for nudists. The coast is very high and jagged and the path down is very steep, with a difference in level of about 100 metres, so getting down to the beach isn't very easy. Since it consists mainly of black sand and shingle it can be very hot: we advise you to take a sun umbrella with you. The beach is divided into two parts by some rocks jutting out from the cliffs. The cystal clear water with the reflection of the sea bed makes the entire view from the top of the road very suggestive indeed. The view from here is breathtaking: it looks on to the whole Capoliveri coastline, from Acquarilli beach on the right to Norsi beach on the left, and as far as the small island of Gemini opposite Innamorata beach. The car park is very small and is on the hill overlooking the beaches.
