Morondava Port
Bästa tid att besöka
In the morning between 6 and 9, the harbor is at its liveliest, as the catches arrive onshore and the auction begins. Dry season mornings are the most reliable, as the rainy period can make the roads to the harbor muddy.
Budgettips
The harbor itself is free and open to the public. A small amount of cash is enough to buy freshly grilled fish, but bargain cheerfully, as the initial price asked from a tourist is inflated.

Om
Snabba fakta: Under en enda dag lägger upp till ett tjugotal för hand urholkade träpiroger till här, var och en tillverkad av en enda trädstam. Fiskmarknaden når stranden redan klockan sex på morgonen, innan solen hinner värma upp betongkajen.
Höjdpunkter: Tidvattenskillnaden når här flera meter, så att samma strand är full av vatten ena stunden och torr lera i nästa. Sevärt är just det ögonblick när fiskarna skjuter pirogerna tillbaka ut i vattnet och näten plaskar mot vattenytan när havet med dån kommer tillbaka.
Insidertips
- Wear closed-toe shoes, as wood splinters and muddy edges hide in the cracks of the pier.
- The golden morning light shines best from the end of the piers, where the boats are lined up in a row.
- Avoid going during the lunch break, as the harbor is then empty and the auction is already over.
- Ask the fishermen about boat trips, as some take visitors out to see the sea for a fee.
