The outstanding element of Paindane is the reef which protrudes north approximately 800 meters parallel to the beach, which forms a natural bay which is protected from the destruction of powerful ocean currents and waves.
This bay is ideal for the launching boats as well as bathing. Paindane bay is home to a coral garden, acclaimed to be one of the best on the African coast. The varieties of soft and hard coral boast an array of colours that must be seen to be believed. The abundance of hundreds of species of tropical fish that adorn this coral reef makes Paindane Beach Resort unique and a must for all snorkelers and divers. The natural bay is an ideal playground for all water sport enthusiasts.
Property Amenities
The self catering chalets and campsites on the dunes are a stones throw from the beach. On selected campsites baraccas are available for hire. The baraccas are cool traditional shelters with modern clean ablutions and electrical plug points as well as water.

Diving and Snorkelling The Paindane Reef offers the best diving and snorkeling sites in Mozambique....
With many world renowned reefs within easy striking distance, Paindane rates as one of the best dive spots on the African East Coast. Manta reef is unique and has been rated as the best worldwide, with excellent visibility and virtually hundreds of mantas that have made this reef their home.
The coral garden lies inside the lighthouse reef in 2 - 3 meters of water, and is rated by Mike Slater (Guide to Mozambique) as one of the very best snorkeling spots of the African East Coast. On a good day, visibility extends to as much as forty meters, with thousands of tropical species to be viewed by the entire family.
Jetski, Hobbycat, Paddleski and boardsailing enthusiasts enjoy the safe launch at Paindane and the fact that you sail directly into the backline and deep waters of the Mozambique Channel, without any surf to contend with.
For those who are not into water activities, long walks along the pristine sun bleached beaches, shell hunting, swimming in the warm tropical waters, tanning in the basking sun, or sipping an ice cold beer in the beach bar can all be enjoyed.
