The village of Fampotabe is located along a bay on the western side of the Masoala Peninsula. The village, however, is not directly at the beach. On the east side of Fampotabe a river leads to the ocean.
Fampotabe has a Public Primary School. The encouraging slogan of the school is "À coeur vaillnt rien d'impossible" - "With a valiant heart nothing is impossible".
There are many well stocked shops and small hotely's along the sandy main road. The villagers live from fishing and farming, especially cloves. Throughout the months of October and November the cloves are picked and thereafter prepared for drying in the sun. In those months there will be an intense scent of cloves in the entire village.
The nearby village of [[Namantoana]] can be reached within an hour by foot.
