Comoros. Anjouan Island, empty left reef. Prone to civil unrest and mercenary-led coups d'etat, the Comoros are far off anyone's easy paradise travel list and it's easy to see why. Remote and expensive, with a high level of chaos and disorganization, any travelers so inclined to visit this area of the Indian Ocean would more easily choose Mayotte, which is an integral part of France with a European standard of living and easy formalities. If it's empty waves you seek rather than tres-chic shopping boutiques and cafe au lait with croissants on the terrace, go to Anjouan or Grande Comore. It's a lot harder, but worth it.
