Introducing Antalaha
Antalaha, a prosperous coastal town, suffered significant damage during Cyclone Hudah in April 2000 and Cyclone Hiary in 2002. Numerous buildings, including the airport, were partially destroyed and vanilla production was dealt a severe blow, but little sign of the damage now remains in the town centre.

Apart from being a relaxing place to stop if you are travelling up or down the east coast, Antalaha makes a good starting point for visiting Cap Est, about 50km to the south.
