Just 38km from Maputo Inhaca Island is a popular destination boasting beautiful beaches, some of the Mozambique Channel's best coral reefs, a historic lighthouse and marine biology museum, and large areas of protected forest. Easily accessible from the capital, it is a favourite with snorkellers and divers who usually head for the reefs at Santa Maria and off the lighthouse, or the surrounding sunken wrecks.
Portuguese Island is a deserted island just northwest of Inhaca across a narrow strait, which also has magnificent beaches and a lagoon.The Santa Maria reef has a strong drift current that runs parallel to the shore and is fantastic for snorkeling. There is a rocky ledge that drops 66ft (20m) to the bottom which harbours numerous caves and ledges filled with a variety of marine life.
