Praia do Xai-Xai, Coastal beach destination in Gaza Province, Mozambique.
The beach features a wide stretch of sand with a parallel coral reef formation that creates natural swimming pools at low tide.

Local restaurants near the beach prepare fresh seafood meals following Mozambican cooking traditions passed down through generations.
The beach is accessible via a paved road from Maputo, with a journey time of approximately three hours by car.
A natural lagoon forms between the beach and the coral reef, creating ideal conditions for swimming regardless of ocean conditions.
