'''The small village of Marofinaritra is located on the east coast of the Masoala Peninsula, about 500 metres inland from the sea. This Marofinaritra is not to be mistaken with the village of [[Marofinaritra]] located near [[Antalaha]].'''
The village name Marofinaritra can be translated with "lots of healthy" or "lots of happy". ''Maro'' in Malagasy means "many, lots" and ''finaritra'' means "well, happy, healthy". [[File:Marofinaritra Masoala 032.jpg|600px]] In the centre of the village there is a public primary school. Most of the villagers live from farming, some from fishing.
