Pomene

Mozambique

Pomene is a remote bay on the coast of Mozambique, in the Inhambane province south of Beira. Once a Portuguese colonial beach hotel — abandoned and decayed into a famous ruin — it sits amid mangrove estuaries and dunes. Visitors see the atmospheric ruin of the old hotel, the wide estuary and mangrove channels, the wild beaches of the coast, snorkeling and diving in the Mozambique Channel, and the untamed character of one of Africa's longest coastlines.
