Pemba

Overview

Introduction

Located in the far north of the country, 1,020 mi/1,650 km northeast of Maputo, this pretty town is situated at the tip of a peninsula enclosing an enormous natural harbor. Pemba was mostly untouched by the civil war and is well worth a visit for its faded Old Town, craft markets, outlying beaches and good diving offshore. It is the gateway to the northern beach resorts and the Quirimba Archipelago.
