At the edge of the Ambatomilo lagoon, which stretches over 90 km from Ifaty-Mangily to Andavadoaka, its turquoise waters and white sand beaches out of sight make it a beautiful place, all in an immensity and a calm almost unreal. Only the slamming of the lagoon's ripples may disturb the tranquility of this virgin and still preserved nature.
