Moya Beach

Moya Beach (Plage Moya), situated on the island of Petite-Terre in Mayotte, is one of the most famous natural sites in the region. Nestled within an ancient volcanic crater bay, the beach is renowned for its dramatic red-and-ochre cliff formations, clear coastal waters, and its ecological importance as a major nesting site for sea turtles. Issued by the postal administration of the Comoros Archipelago (Archipel des Comores), this 20-franc airmail stamp (POSTE AERIENNE) illustrates the sweeping sandy cove and towering volcanic cliffs of Plage Moya, celebrating the unique coastal geography and natural beauty of Mayotte.
