Ponta do Ouro, Coastal settlement in Matutuíne District, Mozambique
A collection of beachfront resorts and local markets stretches along the shoreline where the Mozambique Channel meets golden sand beaches.
The Portuguese named this southern point 'tip of gold' during colonial times, establishing it as a reference point for maritime navigation.
Local markets showcase fresh produce, handmade goods, and regional specialties while fishermen maintain traditional fishing practices along the coast.
The town accepts multiple currencies including Mozambican metical, South African rand, and US dollars for goods and services.
Marine encounters occur frequently as dolphins swim near the shore and numerous fish species inhabit the underwater reefs.
