Nosy Ve

Nosy Ve, a flat uninhabited and mostly unshaded island, has a history dating to the French who landed here in 1888 prior to conquering the mainland. The island has a long white sand beach and is an all-year breeding colony of red-tailed tropic-birds, the world most southernmost. There is no accommodation on this island and camping is not allowed here.

There are some ancient tombs here and day visits can be arranged in the village of Anakao. The best transport is by a vezo fisherman powered pirogue. Ask anyone in the village.
