'''Belo sur Mer is located 70km south of Morondava on the Mozambique Channel. From Morondava it takes about 2 hours by boat to reach this Vezo village. The village with its small houses and huts lies on the border of a small lagoon with a beautiful beach. Nine coral-fringed offshore islands provide excellent snorkelling and diving. The temperature can be very high, the best time for travelling is in the coolest time of the year between June and July.'''
Belo sur Mer is the regional ship-building centre. Huge cargo-vessels lie along the palm-fringed lagoon. The ships are built using the same designs than as centuries back. The construction is done by hand and takes about four to six years to completion.
