Sand, sea, swimming and snorkelling

The Inhambane Coastline is an unspoilt and untouched destination about 400km north of Maputo. The capital of Inhambane province is Inhambane town, a charming and colourful settlement with one of the largest working dhow fleets in East Africa. It is well exploring the anicent buildings and wandering around the harbour for a day.

There are a superb selection of beaches around Inhambane and that is why most people come here. The bay of Inhambane is picturesque but most travellers head further east to Tofo which plays host to a beautiful stretch of white sand beach. It is home to some of Mozambique's best diving and visitors have the unique chance to snorkel alongside whale sharks - these animals are absolutely harmless and the experience is breathtaking! The azure blue waters off Tofo are safe and excellent for swimming and there are few better places to spend a beach holiday. Around Tofo, there are a few other places such as Tofinho to the south and Ponta da Barra to the north which both offer a secluded and sensational getaway.
