Nkhata Bay Things to Do

I visited Nkhatabay in 2005. NkhataBay is a very vibrant town. As I was walking in town somebody told me about Mpapa Beach. Ask anybody in town they will show you boats to go to Mpapa Beach. This place has the most beautiful beach I have ever seen. Shallow waters are as clear like a sky. No crocodiles to worry about. On this beach they are building a lodge which will be the best in the entire Nkhatabay. The owner is a Malawian living in the USA. As I said the building is under construction but this should not discourage you to visit Mpapa Beach because you will meet friendly locals who are always welcoming everybody. Most tourists visit Mpapa Beach because of the bay and its shallow waters. This place is not far from Nkhatabay. I understand the owner of this beach is also going to build a movie theater but the rooms are very big. I guess this guy is bringing the American style to Malawi.
On Mpapa beach they have orchard of papaya, bananas, etc. They also sell beers. This is also a good place for watching locals fishing "usipa(saradine)". I mean I enjoyed pulling the nets standing at the shore and as the net come close to the shore you will see "usipa" jumping. I mean the experience is so great. The locals on the beach make everything so exciting. The locals don't allow thieves and you shouldn't worry of anybody stealing from you.
Your visit to Mpapa Beach brings income to them, and it is in their best interest to protect you from any harm. I have never seen such hospitality like on Mpapa Beach. The people are poor, but they have rich heart. Just to say thank you for making my day leave them something to appreciate them. I mean you are going to love it!
