Beira
Beira is a city in Mozambique, the capital of Sofala province. The town has been a city since August 20, 1907 and, from an administrative point of view, is a municipality with an elected local government. Beira is the second largest city in Mozambique, just after the country's capital, Maputo.
The city of Beira was originally developed by the Company of Mozambique in the 19th century, and then directly by the Portuguese colonial government between 1942 and 1975, the year in which Mozambique gained its independence from Portugal. Currently the city is modernized, although it still has some degraded and problematic areas. After Maputo and Nacala, Beira is the third largest seaport for international cargo transportation to and from Mozambique.

Savanna Beach (20-30 km outside the city). The water is cleaner than Beira and the waves are better. Good fishing. Simple restaurant with nice atmosphere.
Gorongosa (200-300 km) in the province of Sofala. Good challets and food.
Great Hotel Beira, (on Mateus Sansao Muthemba Avenue, west of the city center).
Maria river (10-15 km). When traveling from Macuti to the airport, turn right onto Monte Verde and follow the sandy road. The Maria River is a river and has pleasant sea. There are no facilities there. Very relaxing.
