Tulear's colonial style buildings, grand lanes and innumerable multi-coloured [[rickshaw]]s (pousse pousse) make a lasting impression on its visitors. Here locals prefer rickshaw transport over cars. The result is an unusually unpolluted city for its size and population, which makes the town well worth exploring for at least a couple of days. <googlemap versiondiv style="0.9" lat=max-width:600px;">{{#display_map:-23.353919" lon="352894, 43.668509" 668423~'''Tulear'''~~;|type=satellite|service=google|width=auto|height=400|zoom="14" |controls="pan, zoom, type, scale|copycoords=yes|icon=https://www.madacamp.com/images/madagascar/Green_marker.png}}</div> While Tulear itself is missing a perfect swimming beach, [[Playa de la Batterie]] can be reached by an approximately 4-kilometre rickshaw ride north of the town centre. Thereafter continue by foot across some salt-production fields in the direction of the light tower to find some large"and beautiful sand dunes. Other out-of-town attractions suitable for day-excursions include the botanical park of Antsokay Arboretum (l'Arboretum d'Antsokay) as well as the viewpoint from the table mountain 12km south east of Tulear. Also well-worth a visit is [[Reniala Nature Reserve]], a 45 hectare nature reserve 27km north of Tulear. Many beautiful beaches can be found either further north of Tulear, at [[Ifaty]], [[Madiorano]], [[Salary]] and [[Andavadoaka]], or south of Tulear at [[St. Augustin Bay]], [[Sarodrano]], [[Beheloka]], [[Itampolo]] and [[Anakao]]. Tulear usually serves as a gateway to these destinations. Tulear is the final city along RN7 (National Road 7), which is a tarred road in very good condition starting in [[Antananarivo]]. Drivers choosing this route will see many of Madagascar's attractions along the way, such as [[Fianarantsoa]], [[Isalo|Isalo National Park]] and the sapphire mining town of [[Ilakaka]]. A local airport connects Tulear with [[Antananarivo]], [[Morondava]] and [[Fort Dauphin]] with daily scheduled [[Air Madagascar]] flights. == Accommodation == '''Serena Hotel''' (8 rooms)<br>Boulevard Philibert Tsiranana<br>Tel: +261 (0)20 9441173 or +261 (0)32 0560039 (mobile)<br>Email: [mailto:serenatulear@gmail.com serenatulear@gmail.com]<br>Website [http://www.serenatulear.com www.serenatulear.com] '''Hôtel Le Palétuvier'''<br>Boulevard Lyautey<br>Tel: +261 (0)20 9444039 / +261 (0)32 0254283 (mobile)<br>Email: [mailto:hotelpaletuviertul@yahoo.fr hotelpaletuviertul@yahoo.fr]<br>Website: [http://www.madadecouverte.com/le-23paletuvier www.madadecouverte.352894com/le-paletuvier] '''[[Al Shame]]'''<br>Boulevard Lyautey<br>Tel: +261 (0)20 9444728 or +261 (0)32 0526724<br> '''[[Central Hotel]]'''<br>Bazary be (centre of town)<br>Tel: +261 (0)20 9442884 or +261 (0)32 0255325 (mobile) or +261 (0)34 0141080 (mobile)<br> '''Zomatel'''<br>27 rooms including 2 suites, 43each with a private terrace.668423<br>Tsianaloka, 601-Tulear centre<br>Tel: +261 20 94 441 55<br>Email: [mailto:tulear@zomatel.com tulear@zomatel.com]<br>Website: [http://googlemapwww.zomatel-madagascar.com www.zomatel-madagascar.com] '''[[Eden Hotel|Eden Palm Hotel]]''' == Restaurants == '''Le Sisal'''<br>Sans Fils (two blocks northeast of taxi-brousse station).<br>High quality Malagasy menu at low prices (4,000 - 7,000 Ariary p/meal).
