Cap Sainte Marie Madagascar
Cap Sainte Marie
(To the south tip of Madagascar between Tuléar and Fort Dauphin)
Beautiful beaches, high sandstone cliffs and caves offer a dream landscape
at the south tip of Madagascar. Situated between the waters of the Mozambique
Channel and those of the Indian Ocean, it is not surprising that this
harsh place is beaten by the winds and conveys an impression of “
end of the world”.
From July to November, it is possible to watch the migration of humpback
whales and their whale calves from a short distance, at sea. The history
of evolution has also left marks in this place with the broken eggs of
Æpyornis, this legendary bird ,now extinct, of Sinbad the sailor.
Collecting them is prohibited so as to preserve valuable remains of the
past. Weird plants and creatures evolve in this environment, like the
population of radiated tortoises , an endangered species which has found
refuge there, and dwarf plants specific to the region.
Accessible all the year round, to be preferably visited during the coolest
months of the year.
