South of Ampasindava peninsula, Radama Archipelago scatters its islands surrounded by pirogues, dows and schooners which bear testimony to the many sailors who settled in Madagascar along the centuries. Nosy Kalakajoro and Nosy Antanimora are small paradises: their empty beaches and their lush vegetation make a lovely contrast with their turquoise waters. In the small fishermen villages, the art of marine timberwork is still alive: one can see dow and pirogue frames next to huts and badamier trees. A few nautical miles away, lies Berafia, the most impressive island of the archipelago, where coffee and ylang- ylang used to be grown in the old days. Nowadays fishing is the main source of wealth in this faraway place. Some fishermen use special nets to catch sharks or to collect “sea cucumbers” which, together with shark fins, are two of the most sought after products on the Asian market. Nosy Saba is the most southern island of the Radama: it is a limestone islet where the sand is of blinding whiteness and which is surrounded with exceptionally clear coral sea beds.
