Baie des Dunes is easily accessible by foot from [[Ramena]] village. The about three four kilometres walk along a sandy road passes the military base ORANGEA (5,000 Ariary entry fee) with ruins of former military buildings. Throughout almost the entire walk the road is framed by dense bush, home to all kinds of birds. Not only birdlovers will enjoy the steadily singsong of the small performers. Now and than free roaming [[zebu|zebus]], goats or an occasional boa will cross the path. Just before Baie des Dunes one can visit the [[Cap Miné Lighthouse]].
Remains of a defense construction built by the French are guarding the bay. Baie des Dunes is a wonderful place to spend a day on the beach. The north side of the bay is good for snorkelling. On the south side there is a small picnic area in the shade of a large tree. A bit further a half-island separates Baie des Dunes from [[Baie des Pigeons]].
