Best Things to Do in Morondava in March
Travel Recommendation Rate:1. Take a Walk on Kimony Beach
Kimony Beach is located 8 kilometers (5 miles) away from Morondava downtown area. It’s considered the purest beach on Madagascar’s west coast and remains the primitive look as the time when it was shaped. The surrounding villages are dotted with some stalls selling ingenious handiworks, which can be great souvenirs. The beach is non-touristy with only a few visitors dropping by. So it’s more recommended to those who just want to take a walk slowly and immerse themselves in the tranquility of Morondava. Just pick a sunny day to go.
