Tofinho Beach

Tofinho lies just south of famous Tofo Beach, separated by a rocky headland. While Tofo draws the diving crowds, Tofinho attracts surfers seeking Mozambique's most consistent point break. The reef-protected cove offers calmer swimming when the surf is flat, with rock pools to explore at low tide. A wooden cross on the cliff marks a local shrine, and the dramatic point itself provides stunning sunset views across the Indian Ocean. The accommodation scene is smaller and more intimate than Tofo, attracting those seeking solitude over sociability.
