Markets 

In the nearby town of Inhambane, one can take time to meet the friendly local people, stroll through the market, visit the museum and African crafts shops.

Most provisions can be purchased in and around the market.  Mozambique is well-known for its two tier pricing system and it often pays off to try a bit of hard bargaining. 

There are a number of local cafes/restaurants that don’t look much from the outside but offer good meals. 

Vasco da Gama, a Portuguese seafarer,  discovered Inhambane in 1498 and called it “Terra de Boa Gente” which means land of the kind people.  Inhambane has a long history a lot of which is recorded in the local museum. 

Much closer to the resort in the surrounding area, are local markets.  Here one has the chance to buy traditionally baked bread, pao or take a drink in one of the local Shabins.  

Local hawkers regularly visit the resort with their wares, selling fresh bread, prawns, fish and curios.
