Nearby Ankify direction west are a few hotels along a beautiful stretch of coastline. The district capital [[Ambanja]] is located 22 kilometres from Ankify. The once -bad road connecting Ankify with Ambanja has been was tarred in 2011and pretty much unmaintained since, but here partly gravel and there huge partly asphalt mined with potholes that will slow down the ride. Nature lovers will enjoy a walk through the huge mangroves near Ankify.
