The small picturesque village of Tofo is set on the Indian Ocean side of the peninsular just ten kilometers to the east of Inhambane. Tofo Beach is one of the more developed resorts in the Inhambane region of Mozambique. The beach is long and broad and the warm water safe to swim in. The nearby reef is a haven for the whale shark and manta rays as well as hundreds of other fish species.

The Tofo area has become a favourite resort for the surfer, though for the more experienced surfer the nearby village of Tofinho is a better bet. Fishing and diving enthusiasts may hire a boat in Tofo village. Surfers can expect to encounter dolphins sharing the wave breaks. Just up the road the town of Inhambane offers some excellent but basic shopping, and here you can enjoy lunch or dinner at one of the many street cafés or restaurants. There is also a market in the town.
