Anakao
,no edit summary
'''Anakao is a small beautiful Vezo fishing village situated on stretching over a long stretched beach located about 40km 40 kilometres south of [[Tulear]]. With the exception of a fairly small number of visiting tourist, in the south relative isolation of the village has helped preserve a traditional Vezo lifestyle amongst its estimated 3,000 inhabitants; one of the highest concentrations of [[Vezo]] people found anywhere around the coastline of Madagascar.'''
Some very large and ancient tombs can be found behind the village and depending on the profession of the buried they are usually decorated with either oars or zebu horns. South of the village fragments of eggshells from the world's largest bird, the now extinct [[Aepyornis maximus]] or elephant bird, can be found scattered along the beach. It is illegal to bring these shell fragments out of the country.

Two small nature protected islands, [[Nosy Ve]] and [[Nosy Satrana]], are located close to the coast of Anakao. Both islands are uninhabited and offer no accommodation and can only be visited by day. Boat trips can be arranged usually by fisherman pirogue leaving from the village or via one of the hotels.
