Mahavelona (commonly called Foulpointe), is a town in the district of Toamasina II, in the region of Atsinanana, on the northern part of the east coast of Madagascar.

It is situated at the coast of the Indian Ocean south of the mouth of the Onibe River.

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.

The Onibe river has its mouth at Foulpointe.

Eleven Fokontany (villages) are part of this municipality : Foulpointe, Saranaina, Antenina, Vohitamboro, Antaratasy, Marofarihy, Bongabe, Ambohimarina, Morarano, Ambohimanarivo and Ambodivoarabe.
