'''Anakao is a small beautiful fishing village stretching over a long beach located about 40 kilometres south of [[Tulear]]. With the exception of a fairly small number of tourist, the isolation of this village has helped preserve a traditional way of life amongst its estimated 3,000 inhabitants; one of the highest concentrations of [[Vezo]] people along the coast of Madagascar.'''

Due to bad road condition, the village is best reached by boat from Tulear, which usually take about one hour. During low tide, the transfer begins with a short oxcart ride onto the seabead to reach the pirogue or motorboat. The various hotels in Anakao provide a transfer which can be booked in Tulear harbour from where the boat leaves.
