Nuarro Beach Lodge is situated on the Baixo do Pinda Peninsula next to Nanatha Village in Memba District, Nampula Province of Northern Mozambique. The local bay’s combination of dramatic continental-shelf topography, excellent water visibility, coral & fish diversity as well as easy reef access allows for world-class on and offshore diving suitable for all ranges of experience. The closeness of the continental shelf invites easy shore dives to the five pinnacles separated by white sand-falls and populated by abundant fish life and coral diversity. Along the shore more advanced divers can enjoy the “Baixo do Pinda Walls”, with drift, wreck and multilevel dives. Everywhere is a perfect opportunity for underwater photography.  With such dramatic drop offs only 200 meters from the beach, the Humpback Whales come very close into the bay with their young born. For closer encounters, Nanatha Island Rock (a small coral island off the beach) is a strategic view point or special dhow sailing trips into the bay for a more exiting “eye to eye” contact. Nuarro Beach Lodge is excellent for those interested in both a water and land activities.
