Ponto do Ouro beach

Ponto do Ouro is an idyllic, yet difficult-to-access beach that offers a serene escape from the crowds. It is much more convenient to reach by your own or a rented SUV. Alternatively, a scenic stroll from the nearest village will take at least 30 minutes.

The shoreline and seabed are adorned with golden sand that boasts a caramel hue. The descent into the water is gentle, free of rocks, ensuring a smooth experience. The water is clean, warm, and has an emerald transparency. The resort is a haven for young, active individuals. Occasional gusts of wind stir the sea, and sometimes long waves roll in, perfect for the adventurous spirit. During the summer months, snorkeling enthusiasts flock here to explore the underwater world. Near the coast, coral reefs teem with exotic marine life, drawing travelers from across the globe.

When is the Best Time to Visit

The best time to visit Mozambique for a beach vacation is during the country's dry season, which spans from May to November. This period offers ideal conditions for sunbathing, swimming, and water sports.

• May to November: These months are characterized by warm, dry weather, making it the perfect time for beach activities. The humidity is lower, and there is less rainfall, ensuring more sunny days.
• June to August: This is the coolest time of the year, with daytime temperatures averaging around 25°C (77°F). It's comfortable for those who prefer milder weather.
• September to November: As the spring season approaches, temperatures gradually increase, but the heat is not oppressive. This is also the best time for diving and snorkeling, as the ocean visibility is at its peak.

While the dry season is the most popular time for beachgoers, it's important to book accommodations in advance due to the higher number of tourists. Avoid the wet season from December to April, as heavy rains and potential cyclones can disrupt travel plans and beach activities.
