Fort Dauphin, also known as Taolagnaro, is a city on the southeast coast of Madagascar. Established by the French in the 1500s, this beautiful peninsula is rich in history and culture and well-known for its beautiful beaches and abundant wildlife (including lobster – one of the main exports). From hiking to surfing to touring the historic landmarks, this mountainous region just on the edge of a rainforest is a breathtaking stop.
