Discover The Fabulous Beaches Of Mozambique
Mozambique is considered the great beach in Africa. It has endless beaches of pink, gold and white sand bathed by a warm sea in which to explore all kinds of corals. We will discover which are the best beaches in Mozambique and in which part of the country they are located. Can you come with us?
Barazuto and its dream beaches
It is located in southern Mozambique and consists of six islands (Benguerra, Santa Carolina, Barazuto, Magaruque, Banque and Shell). It has been declared a national marine park, as its waters are rich in underwater life. Thus, you can see, among others, specimens of whale shark, the largest aquatic animal that exists.
Regarding the beaches of the archipelago, they are long, virgin, with white sand and are bounded by huge dunes to climb to obtain impressive views of the site. As if that were not enough, they are bathed by a sea that presents various shades of blue.
The Quirimbas archipelago
From one archipelago we went to another no less recommended: the Quirimbas. It is made up of about 30 islands. It is a destination that attracts more and more tourists looking for unknown places and different cultures, hence it has a first-class hotel offer.
Some of the islands are protected by coral reefs and mangroves and have deserted beaches where you can enjoy a relaxing day . They are also ideal for those who are passionate about diving and want to know the marine world, since their warm waters have an extraordinary visibility.
Among the islands that stand out the most, we should mention that of Ibo or Sengar. The former preserves vestiges of colonial fortresses and mansions in which elements of Portuguese, Arab and African cultures are combined. Meanwhile, the second gives the possibility of spotting different animals such as birds or monkeys.
Macuti Beach, one of the best beaches in Mozambique
One of the main attractions of Beira, the second largest city in the country, is the Macuti beach. It is an ideal place to relax. The breeze is refreshing and, although the currents are strong, it is possible to swim in some areas.
After a day of sand and sea, a good idea is to go to the lighthouse, another of the city’s attractions. At its feet you can see the remains of an old shipwreck.
In Beira there is also the Ponta Gea beach, which attracts many children, young people and adults every afternoon who play and talk in front of the sea. What are you waiting for to join them and enjoy an unforgettable day on one of the best beaches in Mozambique?
Inhambane Bay
The city of Inhambane is situated on a peninsula bordering the west by Inhambane Bay, where a network of footbridges cross the marshes and mangroves. Also, on the eastern bank there is an extensive coastline of beaches bathed by the Indian Ocean, which both locals and foreigners flock to.
Special Mozambique Beaches: Inhaca
Only 32 kilometers from the capital of the African country, Maputo, is this island of deserted beaches. In its northern part, the sand tongues join the Farol beach with the Portuguese Island. This sandy area, open to the clear waters of the Indian Ocean, reaches its maximum attraction between July and November, when it is possible to spot humpback whales.
Now we move to the other end of the island. On the beach of Santa María you can breathe great tranquility. The place is perfect for snorkeling and enjoying a coral reef full of species of different sizes and colors, but the main protagonist is the sea turtle, which can be seen from the shore.
You have already been able to see first-hand why they say Mozambique is the beach of the African continent. And the country is home to a large number of sandy areas that stand out for their natural beauty, as well as for the various activities that they allow to carry out (diving, snorkeling, etc).
