Bazaruto National Park, Marine national park in Vilanculos and Inhassoro Districts, Mozambique.

The Bazaruto National Park extends across 1,583 square kilometers, including five main islands with coral reefs, sand dunes, and mangrove forests.

The establishment of Bazaruto National Park in 1971 marked a significant step in protecting marine ecosystems along Mozambique's eastern coast.

Local fishing communities maintain traditional practices within designated areas of the park, contributing to sustainable resource management methods.

Access to the park requires boat transportation from Vilanculos or Inhassoro, with options for accommodation ranging from lodges to resorts on different islands.

The park shelters the largest population of dugongs on the East African coast, along with five species of sea turtles and numerous dolphins.
