Marianne van Suntenmaartensdyk Ponta do Ouro

Where the sun rises over the Indian Ocean, only 5 km from Kosi Bay on the Southern tip of Mozambique, you will find Ponta do Ouro, "Point of Gold".
Ponta do Ouro offers you golden beaches with lush coastal vegetation where the tranquility of the brilliant blue sea will ensure a truly memorable holiday experience.
The scuba diving in this area is spectacular, and the chances of spotting dolphins or whale sharks are high.
Deep-sea fishing is rewarding, equally rewarding is the tranquility found by those who just want to relax, sit back and enjoy.
To reach the town you enter through the Kosi bay border post and travel approximately 11 kilometers on sandy roads. A 4x4 vehicle is required for this trip.
The town of Ponta do Ouro is a quaint little town, where many of the houses are being restored to their former glory. In the town you will find a filling station, a bank, shops, some restaurants, a market and several curio dealers.
