Wimbe Beach, Beach in Pemba, Mozambique.
Wimbe Beach is a sandy shore along Pemba's coastline featuring bright white sand and tall coconut palms that line the water's edge. The beach extends across a considerable length of the Indian Ocean waterfront, providing open space for both swimming and boat activities.
The shore began as a simple fishing settlement and gradually became a focal point along Pemba's waterfront as the city developed. This transformation reflects how the area has served different purposes for residents and traders over the years.
Local fishing families work directly on the shore using methods passed down through generations, and their daily routines shape how the beach feels during different times of day. You'll notice the boats anchored in shallow water and the fresh catch being prepared in the late afternoon.
The water conditions are generally suitable for swimming and water sports, with rental services and trained staff available directly from the shoreline. Plan to arrive in the morning when conditions are calmer and the area is less crowded than later in the day.
The beach connects directly to Clube Naval, where visitors can arrange boat trips to the nearby Quirimbas islands without traveling elsewhere. This location allows you to explore both the shoreline and island destinations in a single visit.
