OVERVIEW

Tofo is a small town on Mozambique’s southern coast, with guesthouses, homes and local businesses spread behind a broad beach. Fishing and tourism remain closely connected to the surrounding sea. The relationship between warm surf, sandy village roads and rich marine life around a relaxed beach town known for diving and town gives the wider destination a distinctive structure beyond its principal visitor area.

Diving and snorkelling provide access to large marine species, while food and village life add local character. Infrastructure is simple, and seasonal ocean conditions influence visibility. Spending time with both warm surf and sandy village roads and rich marine life around a relaxed beach town known for diving reveals more of the destination than focusing only on its best known sights.
