'''Kimony Beach, also known as Kimuni Beach, is a nice long stretch of sandy beach just seven kilometres north of [[Morondava]]. Near the airport of Morondava, a red sand road diverts from the main street and leads through fields and palm groves. After about five kilometres the sand road turns into an old cobble stoned road, passing a large open plain with mangroves. The scenery is like something out of Africa where one might expect lions or zebras passing in the distance.'''

Kimony Beach is a very deserted beach. There is just one small village nearby, but no shops or restaurants. Fishermen come and go in their pirogues, whilst their wifes and kids are waiting for them await their return in the shadow shade of the few bushes on along the beach.
Until recently, visitors could stay at the hotel "Le Domaine des Baobabs". However, a conflict between the two French hotel onwers and partners resulted in the hotel being shut down and abandoned. Nature has now taken its toll on the property and filled the unnecessary swimming pool with sand.
'''Update 2012:''' A 5-hectare resort named [http://www.kimonyresort-morondava.com Kimony Resort] comprising 30 wooden bungalows has now opened on Kimony Beach.

Kimony Beach is a great place to spend a day. Just bring some water, food and fresh fruits from the market place in Morondava - and if you are a [[VazahVazaha|vazahvazaha]] plenty of sun lotion. <div style="max-width:600px;">{{#display_map:-20.25305846153415,44.2964250673832~'''Kimony Beach'''~~;|type=satellite|service=google|width=auto|height=400|zoom=14|controls=pan, zoom, type, scale|copycoords=yes|icon=https://www.madacamp.com/images/madagascar/Green_marker.png}}</div>
