Xai Xai
Just 124 miles (200km) north of Maputo, the small town of Xai
Xai is a popular excursion for those seeking a relaxing day on the
beach. Xai Xai has a scattering of shops, bars, restaurants and
accommodation, but the real draw is the superb scuba diving and
snorkelling on offer, including at Wenela Tidal Pool, just one mile
(2km) south. The sandy white beaches with their calm waters are a
fantastic place to swim, and there are fresh water lakes nearby for
kayaking, paddle skiing and windsurfing.
