Belo sur Mer is a small fishing village located in the Menabe region of Madagascar. It lies on the western coast of the island, about 500 kilometers north of the capital, Antananarivo. The village is nestled in a bay surrounded by white sand beaches and lush vegetation.
Belo sur Mer is known for its rich marine life, making it a popular destination for snorkeling and fishing. The village is also home to a variety of wildlife, including endangered species such as the Coquerel’s sifaka, a type of lemur.
Belo sur Mer has a long and interesting history. It was first settled by the Sakalava people in the 17th century, who were attracted by the abundant fishing grounds. The village later became a major trading port, with ships from Europe, India, and China stopping at the port to trade goods.
In the 19th century, Belo sur Mer was a major center of the slave trade. Slaves from the African continent were brought to the village to be sold to the French, who used them as labor in the nearby sugar plantations.
In the 20th century, Belo sur Mer experienced a period of rapid economic development. The village was connected to Antananarivo by a railway line, and a number of factories were built in the area, producing textiles, rubber, and other goods.
Today, Belo sur Mer is a popular tourist destination, with visitors coming to experience its natural beauty, its rich cultural heritage, and its vibrant nightlife. The village is also a great place to enjoy the local cuisine, which is known for its fresh seafood dishes.
