Paindane Beach Resort is the ultimate family getaway to your own spot in paradise. Self Drive Do it Yourself Mozambique: http://www.selfdrive4x4.co.za/ A vehicle with Diff-Lock or 4x4 is required to reach the resort, as the last 30-km is a sandy track. The resort is 500 km north of Maputo and 30 km south of Inhambane, nestled amongst plantations of coconut palms and miles of unspoilt white beaches. The resort is set on high sand dunes overlooking the fantastic Paindane reef, offering breathtaking views over the sea. Lighthouse Reef, which protrudes north approximately 800 meters parallel to the beach forms a natural bay, which is protected from the destruction of powerful ocean currents and waves, a unique watersport paradise. Paindane bay is home to a coral garden acclaimed to be one of the finest on the East African coast. The soft and hard coral boasts an array of colors that must be witnessed to believed. The abundance of hundreds of species of tropical fish that adorn this coral makes this spot unique and a must for all snorkelers and divers. Deep sea, rock, surf and fly fishing off the Lighthouse reef is unrivalled on this coastline. An abundance of Kingfish, Cuta, Natal Snoek, Wahoo, Dorado, Tuna and many other pelagic species roam the reef. Ski boat enthusiasts enjoy the safe launch at Paindane. Once you have launched your vessel you sail directly into the back-line and into deep blue waters of the Mozambique Channel - no surf to content with. Those who' are not into water activities can enjoy long walks along the sun bleached beaches, shell hunting, swimming in warm tropical waters, tanning in the basking sun or sipping an ice cold beer in the beach bar. http://www.africaadventures.co.za/ or http://www.africaafrica.co.za/
