Likoma Island is 7 kilometres from Mozambique on the eastern side of the lake. It covers just 17 square kilometres and has a population of mostly fishermen. In Likoma Town, you’ll find St Peter’s Cathedral. It was built in 1903, and is the same copy and design as Winchester Cathedral. Perhaps the best snorkelling and diving in Malawi can be found along the island’s sandy beaches and hidden coves.
