You really need to be careful about the taxis you take to go to the beach! The speed, checking the mobile phone on high speed, the disregard for people or animal on the road was unbelievable! Not even the fact that the police stopped our taxi and our driver got a fine (believe me!) made him go slower. On the way back he went slower under the threat of calling another taxi. Never pay before!

Zalala is great for what it is - a large, wide beach near the mouth of the Zambezi. I mention the river because it colors the water brown. So the water is brown from the mud of the river but I didn't see any signs of pollution. The water is often nice and cool but can get down right warm in the dry season.

It's a great place to get seafood and spend the day.

Be very careful of your belongs there. A friend of mine had a her purse stolen while she was reading - the person was right by her chair. Lock your car and hire someone to watch it. Also be careful driving there and back as often this is where drunk drivers abound.

I actually haven't been to the beach since I lived there in 2011.

The sand is not white, but the beach is enormous - kilometres long and at least a hundred metres from waterline to dunes, at least when the tide is out. The only people you will share it with are fishermen and the occasional bicyclist.

Only about half an hour from Quelimane is this wind-swept ocean beach. Almost at the outlet of the mighty Licungo River this beach has dark sands and oddly is dotted with Pine trees despite the millions of coconut trees in Zambezia. Definitely worth a visit if you are in Quelimane.
