Anakao

'''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 visiting tourist, the relative isolation of the village has helped preserve a traditional Vezo lifestyle amongst its estimated 3,000 inhabitants; one of the highest concentrations of [[Vezo]] people found anywhere around the coastline of Madagascar.'''

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 [[Transfert Anakao]].
