Ifaty Beach
Ifaty
A white-sand coast north of Toliara with reef-lagoon snorkeling. It is the base for Vezo fishermen's outrigger canoe trips and whale watching.
Ifaty lies about 25 km north of Toliara, with a long white-sand coast. Offshore is the northern section of the Great Reef of Toliara. The lagoon is shallow and calm, and you can ride a Vezo fisherman's outrigger canoe out to the reef for snorkeling. Dive shops offer diving and whale-watching trips from July to September. Resorts cluster along the coast, and the sunsets are beautiful. From Toliara, a taxi along the paved RN9 takes about 40 minutes. Tides affect snorkeling, so head out at high tide.
