Sakalava Bay is easily accessible by car. Coming from [[Diego Suarez]], after ten kilometres there is a junction at the small village of [[Ankorikakely]] (respectively eight kilometres from [[Ramena]]) from where an unpaved sandy road leads another six kilometres to Sakalava Bay. Alternatively it is possible to walk to Sakalava Bay from the village of Ramena via [[Baie des Dunes]] and [[Baie des Pigeons]]. This nature walk takes between 2.5 and 3 hours.

The beach at Sakalava Bay is several kilometres long. On the far south side mangroves are growing. The area around a rocky islet is best suited for kite and windsurfing. During low tide sandbanks emerge in the bay. A trail leaving from the north side of the beach leads to two unnamed beaches, of which the second one is the most beautiful.
