Antalaha, pronounced Antala (the last laugh is silent), is a coastal town in the north east, known for being the vanilla producing capital of Madagascar. The scent here is intense and wonderful!

'''Antalaha is a seaside town on the northeast coast of Madagascar, characterised by some weather-beaten, antique Creole-style buildings and a French colonial past. Until more recently, Antalaha served as the capital of the global vanilla trade.'''

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.-->

Antalaha is a seaside town on the northeast coast of Madagascar, characterised by some weather-beaten, antique Creole-style buildings and a French colonial past. Until more recently, Antalaha served as the capital of the global vanilla trade.

Making up part of the scenery is a beautiful beach. A shipyard constructing and repairing traditional wooden dhows can be found at the beach towards the southern part of the town.

Antalaha and the region are regularly affected by cyclones, which have wiped out precious vanilla crops every few years, affecting the world's supply and price for natural vanilla.

Antalaha can be reached by road, sea, or by air. An airport about ten kilometres south of the town is served by private air charters and a road in good condition connects Antalaha with Sambava where a domestic airport operates daily flights from Antananarivo and other major cities around the country.

The 80-kilometre drive from Sambava by taxi-brousse takes about two hours. More adventurous routes are a 3-5 day hike across the Masoala peninsula starting from Maroantsetra or around the peninsula via Cap Est. Sometimes it's possible to catch a cargo boat from Maroantsetra, Sainte Marie or Toamasina.

The easiest way to get around the town is by foot, tuk-tuk or pousse-pousse. The central marketplace of Tanambao is well worth a visit, especially on Thursdays which is the weekly big market day. A 30-minute walk to the meteorological station on top of the hill at Ambatoratsy offers stunning views of the town and surrounding landscape.
