The street from [[Diego Suarez]] to Ramena snakes along the curve of the bay, offering beautiful views onto the bay and [[Nosy Lonja]] (Sugarloaf Island). Throughout the week Ramena is a quite village. Except the street to the pier, there are no paved roads and consequently not many cars in the village. Locals are either living from fishing or tourism. Throughout the weekends, Ramena converts into a party-strip. City-dwellers from Diego Suarez flog on their free day to the beach for a day-long party. In 2011 erected streetlights along the beach support the party ... A trip to [[Emerald Sea]] can easily be arranged by any of the hotels in Ramena Beach. Alternatively, local fishermen are willing to take tourists to the turquoise waters. The dive-centre [[MadaScaph]]takes divers to various dive spots in the bay. About three kilometres from Ramena is the Cap Miné Lighthouse, 18km from where one can see the passage to [[Diego SuarezBay]].'''
