Praia do Tofo Tofo Beach is an amazing, family-friendly beach surrounded with a number of bars, restaurants, and the Tofo Hotel (try the chicken burgers, and the Mad Man cocktail).
To get there, you go to Tofo market which is adjacent to the beautiful wide beach. It is safe for swimming and there are always a couple of people catching waves. There's plenty of space for a game of footy, or volleyball.
Boats launch and beach from the left-hand side, so stick to the right side of the beach.
You can walk a little way down the beach to Fatima's backpackers and the legendary Dino's beach bar.
Alternatively you can walk around the point and down to Tofinho.

Mozambique Bilene Beach offers an extensive stretch of white sandy beach. Tucked behind the beach is the wonderful 27 km long San Martin estuary, also known as Lagoa Uembje.
Bilene is the closest beach resort in Mozambique to Johannesburg, and attracts numerous South African visitors during the holiday season. Although Bilene is an ideal Mozambique holiday destination on its own, it also serves as a good stop over point for travellers en route to Xai Xai, Inhambane and the Bazaruto Archipelago.
Numerous water activity options are on offer, in the estuary or in the ocean. Bilene is popular for scuba diving, snorkeling, sailing, deep-sea fishing, boat transfers to the beach, and sundowner cruises, paddling, para-sailing and water-skiing.
