MEDIUM BEACHES

On the parking lot there are a few kiosks for picnics and a house of the forest protection office. It is a fairly busy beach, especially at weekends. On the other hand, try to check the tide times before coming to Moya, because as it is located on the flats, if the tide is very low, you may not be able to swim. But Moya is especially famous for its turtles laying eggs. Unfortunately, poaching is still present. That's why patrols take turns to avoid poaching. The turtles are often there at nightfall, on a small moon evening and at high tide. Officially the beach closes at 6pm to respect the peace of the turtles, the guard watches over them. If you want to see the turtles laying eggs, you have to go through the Oulanga Na Nyamba association which organizes night outings regularly. However, if you are lucky enough to see them during the day, especially the emergence of babies joining the sea, respect the instructions of the approach charter (be discreet, don't touch anything, avoid making too much noise and no lights...). It can be tempting to help the small turtles to reach the sea by taking them in your hands to make their task easier, but this will harm them in the long term: it is by crawling on the sand while their belly is still soft that the turtles get used to the granulometry of the sand, which will allow them to recognize the beach and to come back to lay their eggs throughout their life.
