'''Chez Maggie Hotel and Restaurant Kimony Beach, also known as Kimuni Beach, is located directly on the beach a nice long stretch of Nosy Kely, a sandy half island about 1km from the centre beach just seven kilometres north of [[Morondava]]. Near the airport of Morondava, a red sand road diverts from the main street and leads through fields and palm groves. After about five kilometres the sand road turns into an old cobble stoned road, passing a large open plain with mangroves. The scenery is like something out of Africa where one might expect lions or zebras passing in the distance.'''
