Tofo Beach

Tofo Beach near Inhambane in southern Mozambique is one of the continent's most celebrated diving destinations, with the waters off the headland renowned for consistent whale shark encounters year-round and large aggregations of manta rays. The broad, gently curved beach of fine white sand faces the warm Mozambique Channel, and the village's laid-back character has made it a long-established backpacker and surf destination. Humpback whale sightings from the beach are common between July and October.
