Tofo
Tofo is a remarkable seaside village situated around 20 minutes east of Inhambane. Now world famous as a diving destination, Tofo also sports a wonderful unspoilt beach, breathtaking sunrises and sunsets, clear blue warm waters and seafood to whet everyones appetite.
Other things to do in Tofo, you could go for a walk towards Tofinho Beach, know has Surfers Paradise, where a shallow reef ledge skirts the sandstone headland and at low tide advanced surfers who can handle the steep take-off have the chance of getting a ride of a lifetime. On the way there enjoy the small pools on low tide, where all the fishermen's waiting for they lucky moment, the woman's catching oysters gives a nice feeling of the place. The Monument of the Fallen Heroes, few yards away, where the political police during colonial times use to throw the locals into a sea cave to be drowned by the rising tide, that didn't agree with the system. A very small triangular monument on a hill just inland still holds some human bones recovered from this cave. A spectacular blowhole near the tip of the point can give a raw display of power when here is a large swell running.
Go for a walk to the Light House, or even Barra. You can always take a Chapa (local bus) on the way back
