About Ponta Mamoli

Ponta Mamoli is situated on the south east coast of Mozambique, nestled in a pristine natural coastline approximately 100kms south of Maputo and 25kms north of Kosi Bay Border.  A number of rare and varied ecosysyetems can be found in the area, from unspoilt expanses of beach, woody grasslands, fresh water coastal lakes and floodplains characterised by expanses of bulrushes and papyrus. 

Ponta Mamoli is well known for it’s pristine natural coastline with a subtropical climate.  Here you will find magnificent expanses of beaches and unspoilt offshore reefs which offer excellent scuba diving and snorkelling.  It is no surprise that Ponta Mamoli is considered to be one of the top beaches in Mozambique!

Things to do in the area:

There is a great variety of things to do and see in the area besides the usual beach activities such as swimming, snorkelling, surfing, tanning, leisurely beach walks. Those that prefer more action-packed holidays will not be disappointed.

Turtle Nesting Season is from October through to March and you have a very good chance of seeing the turtles laying eggs on the beach at night… sometimes right in front of the villa!  Please respect these incredible creatures and give them the necessary space that they need.  Lights chase the turtles back into the sea so use of any form of light during turtle viewing is strictly forbidden. Please be mindful of keeping your distance and minimising any form of disturbance so as to allow these sea creatures to follow nature’s course.

Dolphins are seen surfing the waves in front of Blue Waves almost all year round.

 Dolphin viewing boat rides and swimming with dolphins can be arranged from Ponta D’Ouro or Ponta Malongane.

Whales can be seen breaching from the decks at Blue Waves from July to October.

There are scuba diving centres in both Ponta do Ouro and Ponta Malongane.  They supply all your diving gear and some of the dive centers also offer dive courses, so even if you are not a qualified diver you can still manage to fit a dive in. 

Deep Sea Fishing is very good along this stretch of coast.  There are fishing charter companies in Ponta do Ouro.

Frederico’s Bay, a famous snorkelling spot, is only a few hundred meters away from Blue Waves. At low tide, Frederico’s becomes an amazing spot to snorkel from the beach, or to just wallow in the calm waters, so if you are going to be staying at Blue Waves ensure that you take snorkeling gear along.

Beach Horse Rides on the beach can be arranged at the White Pearl Resort.

The Maputo Elephant Reserve is a 30-minute drive from Ponta Mamoli.  Perfect for a day trip into a Reserve where you can see wildlife such as zebra, giraffe, elephants, impala, wildebeest etc.  Please note that you do need a 4x4 to drive through the reserve. 

Ponta Malongane is a fun 25-minute drive away on the dune roads. This little village is famous for its vibey bars and restaurants and a great place to go for meals and a fun night out of music, dancing and great company! Small bars and restaurants will be found from here all the way down to Ponta do Oura, a 45-minute drive away from Blue Waves.
