<!--|Starting in [[File:Diego_Suarez_005.jpg|196pxRamena]]|align="center"|, the road passes the military base ORANGEA where soldiers will charge a 5,000 Ariary entry fee per person (November 2011). After some old ruins of former military buildings, the road sneaks up a small hill towards [[File:Diego_Suarez_008.jpg|196pxCap Miné Lighthouse]]|align="right"|. Near the lighthouse are some canons and other remains of defense constructions built by the French Army. From there it is only a short walk to [[File:Diego_Suarez_146.jpg|196pxBaie des Dunes]]. A stroll along the beach leads to a rocky half-island, which separates Baie des Dunes from Baie des Pigeons.|-|Baie des Pigeons is completely isolated. At high tide the turquoise water invites for a swim. On the south side of the bay are high dunes visible, from which one has a wonderful view over the bays and the Indian Ocean. Below the dunes a path leads to [[File:Diego_Suarez_144.jpg|196pxSakalava Bay]], passing two more beaches of which the first one is the most beautiful. The walk from Ramena to Sakalava Bay takes between 2.5 and 3 hours.|align<div style="centermax-width:600px;"|[[File>{{#display_map:Diego_Suarez_129-12.jpg245237, 49.383631~'''Baie des Pigeons'''~~;|type=satellite|196px]]service=google|width=auto|alignheight="right"400|[[File:Diego_Suarez_126.jpgzoom=13|196px]]controls=pan, zoom, type, scale|copycoords=yes}}--</div>
