Only a few kilometers along the coast to the north of Maputo you can find the quiet little village of Macaneta Beach. Macaneta Beach can be reached with a four wheel drive vehicle – it is a five minute ferry ride across the Nkomati River and then ten kilometers along a sand track. Macaneta Beach boasts the safest beaches in Mozambique – the clear waters of the Indian Ocean are warm and the beaches here are raked clean every day.
