Barra Beach

Welcome to Barra Beach

Tucked away in the laid-back coastal town of Cidade de Inhambane, Barra Beach is a tranquil haven where the warm Mozambican sun meets the gentle lapping of the Indian Ocean's waves against the shore. Its simplicity is part of its charm, with basic facilities that allow visitors to truly disconnect and immerse themselves in the beach's raw, untamed beauty. As the tide ebbs and flows, the beach reveals a world of hidden treasures – shells, sea glass, and driftwood – waiting to be discovered by those who wander its shores.
