A wide sandy road lined with coconut palms leads through the village. In the village centre there is a large shop selling a bit of everything, such as rice, drinks, sweets, soap, note-books, clothes and petrol. It is also the local bar where mostly men of the village spend much of their afternoons. Next to the shop are three bungalows offering basic accommodation.

<googlemap versionThe people of Ambodipont live from farming (cloves) and fishing. Throughout the harvesting months of September/October the cloves are picked from the trees and thereafter tried on mats in the sunshine. When the sun hits the cloves, an intense scent of X-mas bakery is in the air. Large and delicious pineapples are plentiful. {| class="0.9imageTable" lat|-|colspan="3" | [[File:Ambodipont 033.jpg|600px]]|-15|[[File:Ambodipont 035.731043jpg|196px]]|align="center" lon|[[File:Ambodipont 034.jpg|196px]]|align="50right"|[[File:Ambodipont 037.342172" zoomjpg|196px]]|-|colspan="153" controls| [[File:Ambodipont 024.jpg|600px]]|-|} Ambodipont has a public primary school, established in February 2009. <div style="largemax-width:600px;">{{#display_map:-15.731328, 50.338632~'''Ambodipont'''~~;|type=satellite|service=google|width=auto|height=400|zoom=15Ambodipont|controls=pan, zoom, type, scale|copycoords=yes|icon=https://www.madacamp.com/images/madagascar/Green_marker.png}}</googlemapdiv> The next village south of Ambodipont is [[Anjanazana]] and the next village direction north is [[Marofinaritra - Masoala coast|Marofinaritra]].
