Thriving

Sainte-Marie Island

Madagascar · Indian Ocean

Île Sainte-Marie sits off Madagascar's northeast coast and doubles as a humpback whale nursery every July to September. Its reefs remain largely unexplored, and the bay shelters intact 17th-century pirate ship wrecks beneath clear tropical water.
