While Tulear itself is missing a perfect beach, [[Playa de la Batterie]] (close to the light tower), located approximately 4-kilometre walk north of town across some salt-production fields, may be worth visiting if not only for its large and beautiful sand dunes.
Other nearby attractions suitable for day-excursions include the botanical park of [http://www.antsokayarboretum.org l'Arboretum d'Antsokay] (or Antsokay Arboretum) and the viewpoint from the table mountain 12km south east of Tulear and the [[Reniala Nature Reserve]] - a 45 hectare nature reserve 27km north of Tulear.
The perfect beaches can be found either further north of Tulear, at [[Ifaty]], [[Madiorano]], [[Salary]] and [[Andavadoaka]], or to the south, at [[St. Augustin Bay]], [[Sarodrano]], [[Beheloka]], [[Itampalo]] and [[Anakao]]. For tourists, Tulear is usually a gateway to one of these destinations.
