A wide sandy road lined with coconut palms leads through the village. In the village centre there is a large shop selling a bit of everything, such as rice, drinks, sweets, soap, note-books, clothes and petrol. It is also the local bar where mostly men of the village spend much of their afternoons. Next to the shop are three bungalows offering basic accommodation.

The people of Ambodipont live from farming (cloves) and fishing. Throughout the harvesting months of September/October the cloves are picked from the trees and thereafter tried on mats in the sunshine. When the sun hits the cloves, an intense scent of X-mas bakery is in the air. Large and delicious pineapples are plentiful.
