Ponta Malongane is a quaint little town just 15 km from the Kosi Bay border and from Ponta Malongane to Ponta Mamoli is another 30 km north. Ponta Malongane is only a very short drive from Ponta do Ouro, and is 115 km south of the capital city, Maputo. Known as “Place of the Children” Ponta Malongane has a beautiful tropical coastline and is known for its scuba diving. The unspoilt beauty of the blue sea, golden beaches and lush coastal vegetation, set the scene for memorable holidays, and the area is ideal for deep sea anglers, boating enthusiasts and bird watchers.
