The island of Mayotte, which has very varied coastal relief, offers fewer sandy beaches than its neighbors Grande Comore, Mohéli, the Seychelles, Mauritius and Madagascar, but has a great diversity of coastlines and sand colors (black, brown, gray, red, beige, white). Its lagoon is the largest ({{Convert|1500|km2|sqmi|abbr=on}}) and deepest in this part of the world (and one of the largest on the planet), and its double barrier reef is a biological curiosity that has only a dozen occurrences on our planet, hosting a great diversity of animals, including large cetaceans, which is extremely rare.

Some tourist activities include:

* Hiking to the extinct volcano Dziani Dzaha of Petite-Terre and its lake Dziani;
* Hiking to Mount Combani and Mount Choungui;
* Trek to the governor's house;
* Observation of the maki lemurs of the M'Bouzy islet;
* Diving and snorkelling on the coral reef among tropical fish in the "Passe en S", in N'Gouja, Saziley or on the outer barrier;
* The lagoon allows the observation of green and hawksbill turtles (which come to lay their eggs on deserted beaches), dolphins (common long-billed, spotted, and tursiops in particular), and whales and their calves (which give birth there);
* Nautical activities or relaxation on the many beaches of Mayotte;
* Swimming and visits to the isolated beaches of the northern and southern white sand islets;
* Bivouacs on the deserted islands;
* The Soulou waterfall, on the beach of the same name, is a natural curiosity;
* The Badamiers mudflat, in Petite-Terre, is a marsh rich in biodiversity and landscapes;
* The wrecks like that of the sailing schooner ''Dwyn Wen'' in front of the Badamiers (two masts of which are still standing out of the water);
* The tour of the island by microlight allows you to observe the reefs from the sky;
* The museum of Mayotte, the MuMa at Dzaoudzi, labeled Musée de France.
