In-Depth Information
Once you reach the peninsula, you can walk across to the ocean, where you can
look for miles in either direction, probably seeing no one. You can spend as
much time as you'd like beachcombing here before returning.
If you'd like to stay overnight, Paradis d'Ampanihy (fax 57 402 78; d bun-
galow Ar20,000) offers basic bungalows near Agnafiafy; fax Hèléne ahead, and
the staff at Mangrove Le Gourmand can direct you. They also have another sur-
prisingly good restaurant, with some very tasty dishes with coconut sauce, and
guides available for exploring the nearby forest.

Le Bon Endroit GUESTHOUSE €
( 57 906 62, 033 09 624 38; lebonendroit.sm@gmail.fr; d/f Ar30,000/45,000) This
newly-renovated guesthouse is off the beaten track, but an absolute bargain. The simple
ensuite bungalows occupy a rugged coral beach, with a central restaurant (mains
Ar8000-15,000). There is a full range of activities (deep-sea fishing, snorkelling, kayaking,
spearfishing, and more) almost all of which are free or offered at cost of fuel (bikes are
Ar10,000 per day). You could easily stay here a week and have plenty to do. Transfers ar-
ranged. Highly recommended.
Eden Bé Guest House GUESTHOUSE €€

This tasteful guest house on a large piece of waterfront is a big step above the competition,
with a charming ambience that is part safari lodge and part piano bar. The simple rooms are
very comfy,with thick euro-mattresses and balconies overlooking the sea. A delightful ver-
andah is the perfect breakfast spot. The owners have paid great attention to the details, with
sophisticated touches throughout. Quads and other activities available, English is spoken.
Masoandro Lodge LODGE €€€
( 57 910 43, 032 05 416 15; www.hsm.mg ; standard bungalow with half board €112;
) This beautiful wooden lodge is located on a hillside with great long-range views, and has
a fantastic pool area at the tip of a peninsula, with an adjacent waterfall. It's well situated
at the end of the good road heading north, so you can reach town or adventure equally. The
deluxe bungalows are much larger than the standard ones, but the latter are easier to get to,
and half the price. Multiple excursions available.
