Pemba Bay is a sweeping natural harbor along Mozambique's northern coast, known for its turquoise waters and palm-fringed beaches. The bay's calm conditions make it ideal for swimming, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding. Snorkelers can explore coral reefs just offshore, while boat trips depart for the Quirimbas Archipelago. The bay is also a prime spot for sunset sailing and dolphin watching.
Don't miss
- Snorkel among coral reefs and tropical fish near the bay's islands.
- Take a dhow cruise at sunset for panoramic views of the coastline.
- Relax on the soft sands of Wimbi Beach, the bay's most popular stretch.
