Inhambane, the romantic old port in Mozambique, is named after the Karanga tribe who used to reside here when the Portuguese first reached its shores. Still used as a port to a certain extent, Inhambane tells its own story of past trades with various eastern and Arab influences. But today, it is mostly famous for its pristine coastline, spotted with white sails of dhows in the distance. Inhambane’s coastline promises to mesmerise you with idyllic white beaches, palm trees and turquoise waters with all the water activities you can imagine. The three main beaches include Praia do Tofo, Praia do Barra and Baia do Cocos, with the latter probably being the finest of beaches. Blessed with a unique sandstone reef, this is the ideal resort for swimming, fishing, diving and relaxing. Praia do Tofo is a very popular beach, with beautiful white sand and excellent diving opportunities, as well as the rare experience of snorkelling with whale sharks. It is also more accessible than Baia do Cocos. And at Praia do Barra, visitors have access to wide beaches and the renowned Manta Reef, where you are almost certain to spot a manta ray! The perfect tropical beach holiday experience.
