Toamasina

The port city of Toamasina, also known as Tamatave, is situated on Madagascar’s eastern coast on a sandy peninsula. The town features beautiful beaches, excellent restaurants, and wide avenues filled with traditional Malagasy pousse-pousse carts. Visitors can look forward to a number of historical attractions and fun activities. Explore the stilted Creole houses lining the streets of the charming Old Town, relax in the shade of ancient banyan trees, view the faded grandeur of the crumbling colonial mansion in the Place Bien Aime Park, and stroll down the palm-fringed Independence Avenue to the scenic beachfront boulevard. Don’t miss the colourful Bazary Be street market, featuring an array of locally made handicrafts and exotic spices.
