Clustered along the western edge of Inhaca Island, the village of Inhaca takes its name from Tsonga chief Nhaca, a local leader famed for sheltering shipwrecked Portuguese sailors centuries ago, and now functions as the island’s bustling heart. Its centre hums with a small market, general dealers, lively bars, and simple eateries where fresh local seafood is served. At low tide, families wade into tidal flats to gather shellfish while colourful fishing dhows rest on sandy shores nearby. From here, local guides organise snorkelling and scuba diving trips to reefs like Coral Gardens and Santa Maria Wall, where underwater gardens teem with marine life. Elevated guesthouses overlook the shore to the south, contrasting with campsites near the runway to the north. Functioning as the practical base for exploring the island, Inhaca connects visitors to beaches, forests, and mangroves through walking trails, tuk-tuk routes, and boat trips.
