There are three main ethnic groups in this area: [[Antefasy]], [[Rabakara]] and [[Zafisoro]].
A [[taxi-brousse]] from [[Antananarivo]] to Farafangana takes about 24 hours.
The position of a river near town leading into the ocean makes the beach and ocean somewhat difficult to reach. Attractions close to Farafangana include the [[Manombo Reserve]], [[Lopary]] village and [[Vangaindrano]] town.
