In the parking lot, you'll find a few picnic stands and a forest protection office. It's a fairly busy beach, especially at weekends. On the other hand, try to check the tide tables before coming to Moya, as it's located on the flat, so if the tide is very low, you may not be able to swim. But Moya is best known for its turtle egg-laying. Unfortunately, poaching is still rife. That's why patrols take it in turns to prevent the turtles from being ransacked. The turtles are often there at dusk, when the moon is small and the tide is high. If you want to see the turtles laying their eggs, you'll need to contact the Oulanga Na Nyamba association, which organizes regular night-time outings. However, if you are lucky enough to catch a glimpse during the day, particularly of babies emerging into the sea, please follow the instructions in the approach charter (be discreet, don't touch anything, avoid making too much noise, no lights...). It may be tempting to help the little turtles reach the sea by taking them in your hands to make their task easier, but this will harm them in the long term: it's by crawling on the sand while their bellies are still soft that the turtles soak up the granulometry of the sand, which will enable them to recognize the beach and return to lay their eggs there throughout their lives. Access to the beach is forbidden from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m.

One of the most beautiful beaches island to see it most beautiful even if it can be dirty according to the tides. Attention Moya 2 (beach linked to Moya) is sometimes very reassuring especially for women (to be avoided) it must however be seen for its mangrove. There are guards who are there to protect the turtles and especially the ponte which takes place at night. It is necessary to ask what time you must come and they will accompany you and will explain. It is to be absolutely! With a bit of luck you can see at the end of the afternoon an emergence of baby turtle who left sand per ten to reach the sea. Good luck!
