Ilha de Mozambique - General Info
Description:
Ilha de Mozambique is an island in the Nampula Province in Northern Mozambique. Just 3km long and very narrow, the island is connected to the mainland by a concrete bridge. Most of its inhabitants live in Macuti Town.
Stone Town occupies the northern half of the island and is much grander than Macuti town in the south, but both are UNESCO listed because of their significant architecture and cultural tradition.
Ilha de Mozambique was the capital of Mozambique for nearly four centuries under the Portuguese (the capital is now Maputo) and had been a base for Arab traders since the 8th century.
Cruiser Highlights: This island is the only place in Mozambique that has had consistent good reports from visiting cruisers who have reported that the port captain has been very helpful to visiting yachts. See Latest Reports for more information.
Location: 15° 01.78′ S, 40° 44.21′ E (anchorage)

Please make sure to try and stay on your yacht and get someone to contact immigration to come to you. The guy there gets very upset if you do not see him first. See him before port captain.
