Praia Azul

Welcome to Praia Azul

Nestled in the tranquil coastal town of Cidade de Inhambane, Praia Azul beach is a serene haven where the gentle lapping of the Indian Ocean's waves against the shore creates a soothing melody, accompanied by the majestic presence of the imposing 19th-century Fortaleza de São Brás. As the sun sets over the horizon, the sky is painted with hues of gold and crimson, casting a warm glow over the quaint beach, making it a perfect spot for romantic strolls and sunset-watching. With its basic yet rustic charm, Praia Azul offers a truly off-the-beaten-path experience for those seeking an authentic Mozambican coastal escape.
