The Bazaruto Archipelago of Mozambique

Those turquoise waters are a particularly fetching corner of the Indian Ocean, lapping at the white-sand islands of Mozambique’s Bazaruto Archipelago. The islands have been a national park since 1971, protecting the delicate ecosystem and the rare animals that live here, both on land and in the coral reefs below the surf.
