'''Belo sur Mer is located 70km south of Morondava on the Mozambique Channel. From Morondava it takes about two 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.'''
