Miary is a quiet coastal village renowned for its centuries-old method of salt production. The salt pans, carved into the earth near the shore, are flooded with seawater and left to evaporate, yielding coarse, mineral-rich salt. Visitors can tour the pans and watch workers rake and gather the salt crystals by hand. The village also offers stunning views across the Mozambique Channel, especially at sunset. This is a place where time seems to slow, and the age-old rhythm of salt harvesting continues unchanged.
