Beira Walking Tour
Beira, Mozambique
Why Walk Beira
Beira sits at the mouth of the Pungwe River on Mozambique's central coast, serving as a major Indian Ocean port for landlocked countries to the west. The city's centro has faded Art Deco buildings from the Portuguese era, some beautifully decrepit. Praia Nova — a long stretch of urban beach — is popular with locals. The city has shown remarkable resilience after being devastated by Cyclone Idai in 2019.
