Attraction and Infrastructure

As for the main features of the beaches of Mozambique, they are as follows:

  • The country's beaches are mainly wide, long and have a high level of cleanliness. The most common surface is sand of bright color.
  • Usually, entry into the water is gentle, which is very good for kids. There are 43 such beaches.
  • An important clarification, 5 beaches in the country have a long intertidal zone, which means that during low tide hours you may have to travel a considerable distance. This is also something to consider if you don't want to suddenly be in the water at high tide.
  • The average distance from the road to beach in Mozambique is less than 500 meters. 45 beaches are relatively easy to access, and 2 beaches are only accessible from the water. The latter include both island beaches and beaches with no land routes due to the natural borders.

The vast majority of Mozambique beaches have the necessary amenities, such as sun loungers, umbrellas, beach cafes, showers and toilets.

Latest reviews on Mozambique's beaches

Situ Island Resort
10 B-Mok

We had an amazing experience at the beach. The diving was absolutely incredible, and Tess & Craig went above and beyond to ensure that we had a fantastic time.

Beira Beach
8 Aveline Stone

The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, although it can get a bit noisy since it's the busier side of the beach. There are a few pop-up bars, especially during the festive season, but the swimming pool is child-friendly and the beach is conveniently located right there.

Oyster Bay Beach
10 JX Rivers

The people are absolutely amazing, and the food is equally incredible.

Brisa Mar
10 Rylan Javani

This place is absolutely amazing. The views are fantastic and the design of the building is incredibly well-executed. Everything is extremely tidy and it's evident that the place is expertly maintained. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. The route to the lodge is straightforward and doesn't require a 4x4 vehicle.

Mozambique Bilene
2 Zayd Ibrahim

The food service was extremely poor; we had to wait for more than an hour to receive our food!

Mar Me Quer Retreat Beach
2 Silas Everhart

The landlord completely ruined our Mozambique experience. The place was overrun with mosquitoes, there was no privacy as she would enter without warning, she took most of our cutlery after a guest visit, there was no hot water for the first 5 nights, we couldn't use our own fans, she even took our mixer after we made flapjacks. When we tried to address these issues, she took the TV remotes. Overall, a terrible experience and not recommended for a relaxing holiday. The views were nice though.

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.

Do you know how many beaches there are in Mozambique? In total there are 47 beaches and the most popular is Ponta do Ouro Beach.
