Introducing Cape Maclear
Cape Maclear sits on a scenic jut of land at the southern end of Lake Malawi, with the alluring Domwe and Thumbi Islands anchored offshore. It was once a travellers’ byword for sun, sand, rest and recreation, but the crowds seem to have moved on elsewhere and the beach is no longer as clean as it once was. It is still a relaxing place to experience the beauty of the lake, however. There’s nowhere to change money in Cape Maclear, so make sure you bring enough with you.
