MOZAMBIQUE BEACH HOLIDAYS
Mozambique offers the attraction of a tropical paradise that beckons with stunning, palm-lined beaches and spectacular diving and fishing that is virtually unrivalled. Mozambique's 2,500 km of Indian Ocean coastline is mainly made up of empty, palm-fringed, sandy beaches where hotels and lodges cater for the most discerning traveller. Sun, endless sandy beaches, a variety of accommodation and clear waters teeming with marine life make Mozambique the perfect beach holiday destination.
Mozambique still has an innocent charm as a tourist destination. Untouched and unspoilt, it offers the holiday maker pristine beaches and a “southern seas� holiday. The country’s road network links the southern coastal towns but northern and inland areas are currently not easily accessible by car.
