Belo sur Mer, a small fishing village located about a hundred kilometers south of Morondava, is a true treasure for those seeking an authentic experience, one of the favorite destinations in Madagascar. Access to this remote location is not so easy: a difficult track to navigate in the dry season or a journey by sea. But once there, the reward is great: a beautiful bay with sandbanks perfect for admiring spectacular sunsets, and from mid-June to mid-September, whales visible offshore.
The village, entirely made of wood and palisades, with sandy paths, is rooted in a maritime tradition inherited from Muslim traders and Breton sailors. The builders of dhows and schooners perpetuate a preserved traditional know-how. Belo sur Mer also offers exploration opportunities with its islets ideal for snorkeling, sea arms winding through the mangroves, salt flats, and a reserve of bottle-shaped baobabs. The charm of the inhabitants and their simple way of life captivate, making each stay unforgettable.
However, for swimming, it is advisable to head to the beach north of the village, a clean stretch of sand facing the Mozambique Channel. On the other hand, the beach along the lagoon should be avoided as it serves the domestic needs of the village. In Belo, life unfolds without running water and with almost no electricity, adding a sense of isolation away from daily routines and a return to basics.
Belo sur Mer awaits you with its breathtaking landscapes, traditions, and welcoming inhabitants. Plan your private stay with us now and dive into this unique experience, far from the hustle and bustle of modern life.
