A long and beautiful beach often with huge waves is part of the scenery. The area is regularly affected by heavy cyclones. In 2004 and in 2007 virtually all its vanilla crops and much of the town was destroyed, but this is a town which always seems to know how to rebuild itself. <!--The population of the district of Antalaha was estimated in 2001 at 75,000.-->

[[File:Antalaha 11.jpg|600px]] Antalaha can be reached by land, sea or air. The quickest and maybe most comfortable way of transport is by plane. Antalaha has an airport about ten kilometres out of town which is not served by [[Air Madagascar]] but which can be accessed by [[Private Charter Flights|private air charters]]. A tarred road in good condition connects Antalaha with [[Sambava]] in the north. {| class="imageTable"|-|colspan="3" | [[File:Antalaha 015.jpg|600px]]|-|[[File:Antalaha 019.jpg|196px]]|align="center"|[[File:Antalaha 016.jpg|196px]]|align="right"|[[File:Antalaha 020.jpg|196px]]|-|} The 80 kilometres drive by [[taxi-brousse]] takes about 1½ hours. Other available and more adventurous routes are a 3-5 days hike across the [[Masoala peninsula]] starting from [[Maroantsetra]] or via [[Cap Est]]. Sometimes it is possible to get a lift on a cargo boat on the way to/from Maroantsetra, [[Sainte Marie]] or [[Toamasina]] (Tamatave). <!-- more details: how long, how often do boats go? --> [[File:Antalaha 002.jpg|600px]] <googlemap version="0.9" lat="-14.909123" lon="50.28245" type="satellite" zoom="14" typecontrols="satellitelarge" controlsstyle="largewidth:100%;max-width:600px;">-14.910699, 50.282364Antalaha
