Chocas Mar

Chocas Mar is an unspoiled beach located approximately 40 kilometers north of Mozambique Island of Mozambique, situated across Mossuril Bay. Travelers visit this location for its quiet, uncrowded scenery and natural environment.

Getting There

The beach is accessible from the city center via two primary methods: by boat across the bay or by unpaved road. Because the road is not paved, travel times can vary depending on the vehicle used and current road conditions.

Duration of Visit

Visitors typically spend a half-day to a full day at the beach to experience the scenery and the quiet atmosphere of the coastline.

When to Visit

Due to its remote location and limited accessibility, the area does not typically experience large crowds. Visitors should check local weather patterns and road conditions before traveling via the unpaved route.

Combining with Other Sites

Since the beach is located north of the main settlement, it can be combined with visits to historical sites on the island. Nearby points of interest include:

  • Fort São Sebastião: 10.3km
  • Church Saint Anthony: 12km
  • Mozambique Island Bridge: 12.4km
