Tofo Beach in Mozambique

There cannot be many unspoilt, wild coastlines left in the world today, but the beaches in the Inhambane area of Mozambique must surely rate up there with the best. There is development on the go and it will only increase as time goes by, but for now it is a little piece of paradise. Neil, Nick and I stayed in Daryn and Louise's house in Tofo for a week and really enjoyed the beach life. The tourists in Tofo fall into 2 distinct categories - the South African families with their beach cottages, 4x4s, quad bikes and fishing boats and the international backpackers "doing" Africa.
Tofo offers a few of the best dive sites in Africa and we went scuba diving with Manta Rays and Whalesharks!
Mozambique is a very poor country with limited infrastructure and shocking roads, making travel slow going. You will not find a Mall or even a 7/11 in Inhambane and shopping for food in the local markets is interesting. There is cell phone coverage,internet access and electronic banking, however.. and the beach pubs and local restaurants are great.
