BEACHES
Go there and contact
Mahajanga is one of the few towns in Madagascar with a beach right in the center of town, at the end of the corniche road: it's known as the "tourist village". The beaches of Amborovy (about 8 km to the north), Grand Pavois (10 km) and Ampazony (15 km) attract all the tananarivian tourists in August. Numerous hotels, restaurants and small bars have sprung up, especially on Amborovy beach. Ideal for a Sunday out with the family. Further afield, the marvellous site of Antsanitia (pronounced: "antsanti", 40 min runway from the airport), is more unspoilt.

Je préfère celle de Petite Plage, accessible par le bus 11, peu de vagues, des hotely pour se restaurer.
Le Grand Pavois est plus loin, ligne de bus 15, puis 30 min de marche, mais plus exposée aux vagues, des hotely pour se restaurer.
Dans les deux cas bus à 500 Ar et parassol en location à la journée entre 2 000 et 3 000 Ar selon la qualité.
