Hi all,

We are soon taking off to Madagascar, and will be travelling the West coast from Morondava to Tuléar!

We will stop in all of the spots (Belo-sur-Mer, Morombe, Andavadoaka, Salary or Ifaty ) for one night, but can only stay in one of them for a second night, and we're having a hard time choosing. Which one is your favourite, and why? If you also have comments/suggestions on hotels, they'll be appreciated too.

And last question: how long should we plan for each leg of the travel? Can Belo-Morombe be done in one day in late October? If possible, we'd like to avoid staying over in Manja…

Thanks!

If I could spend two nights it would be either:

Salary : incredible beach. White sand , turquoise waters , no crowd. I think one of the top 3 beach in Madagascar. The only hotel I can recommend is Salary bay.
Andavadaoka: nice small village, nice small bays with nice beaches, good snorkeling and diving. Very authentic.

There is not much to see in Morombe. Yes, you can do Belo-Morombe in one day but be ready for a long long drive . Leave very early in Belo sur Mer, have lunch in Manja and continue to be in Morombe shortly before the end of the day.
