Cape Maclear, near Monkey Bay, has a beautiful sandy beach and is in the Lake Malawi National Park, the world's first freshwater reserve. It is here that the fish-rich lake is seen at its best. The only top-class accommodation is at the new island camps utilised during kayaking safaris. There is plenty of mid-range and budget lodges and there are plans for a hotel. Located on the east side of the lake, near the Mozambique shore, Likoma Island is worth a visit - there is excellent swimming off the beaches and very interesting Anglican Cathedral.
