The town is located on the southeast coast, at the mouth of the Manakara river. It is split into two by the Canal des Pangalanes . The coast here is wild and a canoe ride will show you the quaint fishing villages that border it. But let us get back to town: on one side, the modern district of Tanambo, on the other, the old town and its colonial style houses. On the market, the local produce such as pepper or litchis is not to be missed!
Manakara is the right place for taking it easy. Bicycle rides alongside the ocean are magical.
