Mozambique

Mozambique is home to over 80+ beaches along its 2,500 kilometers (1,553 miles) of pristine coastline. The country's tropical shoreline features everything from powdery white sands to vibrant coral reefs, making it a great place for both divers and families. Maputo, Tofo, and Pemba are among the top beach destinations in Mozambique. Maputo is known for Macaneta Beach, where visitors can enjoy soft sands and calm waters, ideal for swimming and relaxing. Tofo offers Tofo Beach, a popular spot for diving and snorkeling, with rich marine life including whale sharks and manta rays. Pemba is home to Wimbe Beach, where the crystal-clear waters and palm-fringed shore provide a perfect setting for a day of sunbathing and beach activities.

Other notable beaches in Mozambique include Vilanculos Beach, which serves as a gateway to the Bazaruto Archipelago, known for its stunning islands and marine reserve, and Barra Beach, located near Tofo, where visitors can enjoy a laid-back atmosphere and explore the nearby lagoons.

The best time to visit Mozambique for beach activities is from May to October, during the dry season, when the weather is warm and the Indian Ocean is ideal for swimming, diving, and enjoying the country's natural beauty.
