Places to visit:
QUISSICO: about 330km north of Maputo, is the first
destination when driving up from from the
south to Inhambane Province.It is well worth stopping at this bustling
little one-street-town set high on a hill, commanding magnificent
views of beautiful freshwater lagoons, cut off from the sea by massive
vegetation covered dunes.
ZAVORA: 18 km after one crosses the bridge over
the Poelela Lagoon where coral reefs forms a lovely sheltered lagoon,
ideal for diving and snorkeling. Also known for its excellent game
fishing.
ISLAND ROCK: Just before you reach Inhambane City
there is a 4x4 turnoff to the resort beaches of Island Rock, Paindane,
Jangamo beach and coconut bay, where you can scuba dive on the largely
unexplored reefs, visit an undersea cave or swim with the whale
sharks that are often spotted here
PAINDANE: Situated 6km north of Island Rock, is
famous for having some of the best inshore snorkeling in all of
Mozambique. A spectacular 600m long inshore reef provides placid,
protected conditions with some huge rock pools being accessible
at low tide. In addition the 30m seaside drop-off offers unlimited
fishing and scuba diving opportunities with various caves, ledges
and pinnacles being home to a wide variety of marine life.
JANGAMO BEACH: is next on the 4x4 track, where
an offshore reef extends from the tip of a scenic halfmoon bay.
Diving is very popular on the nearby pristine coral reefs, which
include the world famous Manta Reef where sightings of the graceful
manta rays are almost guaranteed.
INHAMBANE CITY: One of the earliest European settlements
in Southern Africa. Looking more than a town than a city, the wide
tree lined streets and elegant Portuguese Architecture are reminders
of a once prosperous past, based originally on the proceeds of gold,
ivory and slavery.
The city has grown old gracefully and is slowly recovering from
civil war by becoming a service hub for the many nearby tourist
resorts as well as a destination of cultural and historical significance.
It is the province's capital and has its own airport.
This charming city has many places of general and historical interest
with a visit to the harbour and local market a must. The bustling
jetty has ocean going fishing vessels moored alongside and crowds
of passengers are being ferried to and from Mxime across the bay.
 TOFO
BEACH: About 17km east of Inhambane is where Bar Babalaza
only about 7km from Barra marks the crossroads to Tofo and Barra.
Tofino is known for its amazing surfing, although strong currents
and a shallow rock shelf make it a place for advanced surfers only.
Tofino is the site of the Frelimo Monument to Fallen Heroes, near
to where unfortunate victims of the colonial period were thrown
into a sea cave to be drowned by the rising tide.
A smaller triangular monument on a hill just inland still holds
some human bones recovered from this cave. Also to be seen is the
display of raw power through a blow hole when there is a large swell
running near the tip of the point.
LING LINGA: is at the end of the Peninsula about
7.5 km long, on the noth side about 15km across the bay from Inhambane
City . It is the site of an old whaling station flanked by the sea
on the one side and the bay on the other with easy access by boat
from Inhambane City.
Linga Linga is known for its rich bird life and for the excellent
fishing in the deep channel that passes it. An added attraction
is the Dugongs which are sometimes seen here
