A fishing village and beach strip at the tip of the Nankumba Peninsula, inside the world's first freshwater national park. Snorkelers drift over shoals of iridescent cichlid fish around Thumbi Island, and kayaks and dhows launch straight off the sand. Its backpacker lodges have anchored the Malawi overland route for decades.
