Praia da Barra, Coastal beach in Inhambane Province, Mozambique
The white sand beach stretches along the Indian Ocean waters, with coconut palms lining the shore and gentle waves reaching the coast.
The beach area formed part of important trade routes used by Arab merchants in the 10th century before Portuguese settlement in the 1500s.
Local fishing communities maintain traditional practices, with daily catches bringing fresh seafood directly to the beachfront restaurants and markets.
The beach offers swimming conditions from April through October, with water temperatures remaining constant at 24 degrees Celsius throughout these months.
Marine wildlife includes dugongs, which swim in the nearby waters, making this location one of the few places to observe these animals in Mozambique.
