While Tulear itself is missing a perfect swimming beach, [[Playa de la Batterie]] (close to the light tower), is located an approximately 4-kilometre rickshaw north of town, plus a walk way north of town across some salt-production fieldsin the direction of the light tower. Large and beautiful sand dunes, nice beautiful scenery.
Other out-of-town 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. Also well-worth visiting is the [[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 to the south, at [[St. Augustin Bay]], [[Sarodrano]], [[Beheloka]], [[Itampolo]] and [[Anakao]]. For tourists, Tulear is usually a gateway to one of these destinations.
