Belo sur mer and its salines
This protected bay of the southwest of Menabe offers a very charming landscape. In addition to its heavenly beaches and its underwater beauty, it is well-known for its salines out of sight. The local families wash the sand so as to extract the salt crystals : a know-how transmitted from generation to generation.
It is also well known for its traditional boat manufacturing yards (a legacy of the Breton carpenters which came to the island a long time ago). Dhows and schooners are built on the spot so as to allow fishermen to go to work then. If you fancy it, you may accompany one and discover the coastline by the sea. You can also make out and visit coral islets round about, in particular Nosy Andravoho, Nosy Motsadiniky, Nosy Tania, Nosy Andriangary and Nosy Angorahoka, quite enough to give you an urge for exploring and adventure.
