Sarodrano Cave
Grotte de Sarodrano
A turquoise natural pool inside a limestone cave by the sea. Fresh and salt water meet here to form clear water that you can swim in.
The Sarodrano cave lies on the north bank of Saint-Augustin Bay. It is a semi-open limestone cave with a clear, turquoise pool at its base. The pool forms where underground fresh water mixes with seawater. You can swim or snorkel in it, and baobab trees grow at the entrance. Nearby, on the Sarodrano sand spit, is a Vezo fishing village. The drive from Toliara takes about an hour and requires a four-wheel-drive vehicle or a motorbike. Visitors often combine the cave with Saint-Augustin Bay. Entry costs a small community fee.
