Nosy Lonja, or Sugarloaf Island, is the small island in Diego Bay Diego Suarez pictured on many postcards and in travel brochures. This small island has become a landmark symbolising both the town and the bay of Deigo. A picture of the island also appears on the 100 Ariari banknotes printed in 2004. It is considered fady by locals to visit as it is said death will follow those who step ashore, as such, there are no boat transfers or poeple living there, and tourists can only admire this beautiful island from the safe distance of the shore.
