Nosy Lonja, or Sugarloaf Island, is a small island in [[Diego Bay]] pictured on many postcards and in travel literature. This small island has become a landmark symbolising both the town and the bay of Diego. A picture of the island also appears on the 100 Ariari banknotes. It is considered ''[[fady]]'' by locals to visit the island as it is believed death will occur to those who step ashore, as such, no people live there the island remains uninhabited and no boat transfers are not available. One can may however easily admire the view of this unusual looking the island from a safe distance of the shore.
