Review & FAQ:

Madagascar has a long and luscious coastline, with dozens of world class beaches to be found all around the island nation. Down on the southern coast, Ifaty is undoubtedly one of the best beaches in Madagascar and one of the prettiest in all of Africa too. Simple shacks and houses line the coast, offering an authentic, private island vibe to this beach, which features smooth sands, warm waters, and an exceptional coral reef just a short swim away. Snorkeling is therefore very popular here and there are lots of colorful fish waiting to be discovered. This is also a good whale-watching beach if you choose to visit in the summer months.
