Praia do Tofo
A golden beach on the east coast of the Inhambane Peninsula, backed by dunes and coconut palms. It is Mozambique's most popular seaside town among backpackers and divers.
The beach forms a long, graceful arc of soft sand with moderate waves. It is good for swimming, surfing and horseback riding, or for strolling along the sand to watch the sunrise. The town has several dive shops, backpacker hostels, seafood eateries and small markets. The atmosphere is laid-back, and parties are common in the evenings. Nearly all whale shark ocean safaris and diving boats launch from here. The beach is about 22 km from Inhambane city, with minibuses running back and forth. Waves and rip currents can be strong at times, so swim where other people are.
