Costa do Sol & Avenida Marginal
Costa do Sol
A seaside boulevard and city beaches along Maputo Bay, where the long-established Costa do Sol restaurant has been famous for its prawns for decades.
The seaside boulevard runs north from the city center along Maputo Bay to Costa do Sol, lined with waterfront promenades, bars and beaches. On weekends, locals stroll, play football and barbecue here. At the far end, the Costa do Sol restaurant has been open since the 1930s and is known for its prawns and Portuguese-style seafood rice. The bay water is murky and the tidal flats are wide at low tide, so swimming is not ideal. The area is best for walking, watching the sunset and enjoying seafood.
