'''The Three Bays refers to three bays near Diego Suarez in the north of Madagascar, namely Baie des Dunes, Baie des Pigeons and Sakalava Bay. The three bays with their beautiful beaches are popular excursion destinations offered by tour operators, usually by 4x4 vehicles. All bays are connected by a sandy road as well as a foot path closer to the shore. Explorers who wants to experience the sights of the scenery, the sound of the waves and birds can easily walk between the bays without a guidance.'''

The Three Bays refers to three bays near Diego Suarez in the north of Madagascar, namely Baie des Dunes, Baie des Pigeons and Sakalava Bay. The three bays with their beautiful beaches are popular excursion destinations offered by tour operators, usually by 4x4 vehicles. All bays are connected by a sandy road as well as a foot path closer to the shore. Explorers who want to experience the sights of the scenery, the sound of the waves and birds can easily walk between the bays without guidance.
