Tehran – Beris Port (Bander-e Beris) is a picturesque yet rarely discovered destination in southeastern Iran.
Located just 60km from Chabahar in Sistanbalkestan, Belis offers a stunning combination of dramatic cliffs, calm beaches and vibrant maritime activities.
One of the most striking features is its unique rocky coastline. This is rare in this country. The area also houses coral reefs in the Macran Sea, making it a haven for marine biodiversity.
Additionally, the scenic beauty of the harbor is enhanced by the sights of multi-colored fishing boats scattered throughout the waters entering and leaving the harbor with enchanting displays. Visitors standing on the cliffs of Belis Port are treated to panoramic views of the ocean, and fishing boats constantly arrive and set out, creating a ever-changing landscape of maritime life.
Fishing is a major industry in Belis, with local fishermen catching a variety of seafood, including Spanish mackerel in the narrow Burley, tiger croakers, silver pomfrets and shrimp. The area is also known for lobster fishing, many of which are exported to other countries. The lively fishing dock is one of Iran’s busiest and plays an important role in the local economy and culture.
Beyond its economic importance, the Port of Belis is an ecological treasure. The reef, once again, is extensive, but offers a glimpse into the region’s rich marine ecosystem. However, the growing number of visitors has eroded cliffs and coral structures, highlighting the need for sustainable tourism efforts to protect the natural beauty of the harbor.
The geological composition of Belis Port is equally attractive. It is built mainly on thick, semi-dense sandstone layers of the Third Geological Era, allowing clear extrusions to be visible along the cliffs. These formations contribute to the sturdy appeal of the port and make it an attractive place for geologists and nature lovers.
One of the most fascinating sights in Belis is the flight of boats and seagulls on rocks, creating the perfect scene of the painting that embodies the essence of the ocean. The combination of stunning landscapes, rich marine life and cultural significance makes Verisport a major ecotourism location.
Despite its great potential, Belisport has been relatively undiscovered by backpackers and nature lovers.
Experts say by promoting sustainable tourism, Belis can attract visitors from Iran and around the world, protecting natural wonders while boosting the local economy.
