Geography
It is situated at the coast of the Indian Ocean south of the mouth of the Onibe River. The town is located at 60 km[2] north of Toamasina on the RN 5 between Toamasina and Maroantsetra. There is a reef around 150 metres out to sea which prevents waves hitting the beach; the waters by the shoreline are completely calm as a result.
Economy
Its economy is based on tourism.
