Three fishing boats — red, yellow-green, and white — sit moored in the shallows of Bel Ombre, their hulls almost glowing against water so turquoise it barely looks real. Black volcanic rocks break the surface in the foreground, palm trees crowd the shoreline behind. This is the quieter, less-photographed south of Mauritius, where the lagoon is still shared between fishermen and the occasional visitor lucky enough to find it.
