The small island of Ilha de Mozambique is a place where time seems to have stood still. A former administrative hub in the region for Portugal, it is home to colonial structures such as Fort of São Sebastião and the Chapel of Nossa Senhora de Baluarte. At the beach, you can see traditional dhows (boats) and fisher folk which lend to the island’s charm.
