Down on the southeastern shores of Madagascar sits Manafiafy, one of the island's lesser-known beaches. It's a surprise that this beach isn't more popular considering how beautiful it is, but its lack of popularity makes it a real haven for locals and in-the-know travelers who want to get away from the noise and crowds of some of the island's busier beaches. There's only one little hotel to be found on this beach, but lots of fun activities are organized in the area including scuba diving and whale-watching tours.
