Anakao
,no edit summary
Due to poor road conditions, the village is best reached by boat from Tulear, which usually takes about one hour. During low tide, the transfer begins with a short oxcart ride onto the shallow water seabed to reach a pirogue or motorboat. Various hotels in Anakao provide transfers that can be booked in Tulear harbour directly from where the boats depart. The fastest transfer is [[File:Example.jpgTransfert Anakao]].

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.
