Morrungulo Beach

Morrungulo Beach is a sandy shore in southern Inhambane Province that curves gently along the coast with coconut palm groves nearby. The sand slopes gradually into the Indian Ocean waters, offering swimming areas and shallow coral formations close to shore.

The Morrungulo Peninsula has served as a navigation landmark along maritime trade routes since colonial times, connecting southern and northern coastal regions. This geographic location made it an important stopping point for sailing vessels traveling between ports.

Fishing communities here rely on traditional catching techniques passed down through generations, selling fresh catches directly to local restaurants and visitors. This daily work shapes life along the shore and connects travelers to the rhythms of coastal living.

This beach can be reached by road from Maputo or by flying to Inhambane Airport and driving north along the coast. The dry season offers the most comfortable visiting conditions with stable weather and easier road access.

Near the shore lies Sylvia Shoal Reef, a coral formation home to green turtles, sharks, and rays that attracts divers. Exploring this underwater area reveals the marine life that inhabits these southern Mozambican waters.
