Intertidal zones and green coast, Mozambique

Unique Mozambique

This aerial shot brings us to a nation that's named for an island in its north, but we're seeing a different one near its southern tip. Across the namesake bay that abuts Mozambique's cosmopolitan capital, Maputo, you'll find this beachy locale that's of as much interest to researchers as relaxers. Inhaca Island's waters are populated with bottlenose and humpback dolphins, sea turtles, and dugongs, and its protected coastal forests offer refuge to more than 300 migratory bird species.
