Leaving Fort-Dauphin
towards Amboasary, the
excursion to Anony Lake
will lead you from the wet
Anosy region to the drier
Androy region to discover another
particular vegetation.
Anony Lake, South of Amboasary
and East of the former mouth of
the Mandrare River is surrounded
by arid areas. Today it is separated
from the ocean by a string of dunes.
This beautiful lake extends near the
plantations of sisals. The area of ​the
lake is 2300 hectares and the average
depth of 5 to 6 m but can be up to 12
m during floods. It contains a high
density of Rhizostoma jellyfish. The
lake is fed by the river Itarantsa and
communicates with the sea by a
"Vinany" (mouth) which corresponds
to a temporary opening in the
rainy season only. Since the dunes
separating the lake from the sea span
about 600 m in width, the Vinany can
remain closed for several years in
succession, until a cyclone, a storm
sufficiently violent, or an artificial
rupture occurs and temporarily
unclogs this barrier again.
Lake Anony, frequented during
their season by the migratory
flamingos that rest near the dunes
between the sea and the lake, is
beautiful: white sand beaches, lined
with filao trees, canoes and fishing
scenes in the brackish waters of
the lake. The wind is conducive to
windsurfing. Every morning between
10 am and 11 am, a steady thermal
wind comes up, often lastsing until the
end of the afternoon, which delights
all sufers and sailors. It is possible to
bivouac along the lake and practice
windsurfing or kitesurfing.
