Maxixe, Mozambique


Maxixe (pronounced Ma-sheesh) lies across the bay from Inhambane. The beach here is easily accessible by the traditional dhow boats and as a result Maxixe is a thriving fishing community. On weekdays, the beach becomes an informal market place, crowded with people and bustling with a jovial atmosphere.




I loved the women washing and gutting fish at the water's edge, and the children playing among the old wrecks.
