INSECT REPELLENT  
Insect reprellents such as Peaceful Sleep, Tabard and Citronella Oil are strongly advised. Also mosquito coils. Although there are not many mosquitoes due to the onshore breeze from the sea, there are palm flies that bite and the best repellent for these is Citronella Oil. It is advisable to wear long sleeved shirts and light cotton longs on summer evenings
WHAT IS A DHOW?  
A coasting vessel of Arabia, East Africa, and the Indian Ocean. It generally has one mast and a lateen sail. In Mozambique, the locals use this for for various purposes, eg: transportation, fishing, tours and services for tourists for a reasonable fee. Inhambane's harbour still has the largest fleet of working dhow's to this day!

The peninsula that Barra is situated on, has naturally protected Inhambane's bay from strong currents and rough sea's making the waters of the West side of Barra's peninsula (facing Inhambane) - very calm and clear. This has made fishing much easier for the locals - prawns (big) in particular. The bays calm waters has also attracted a lot of the Dhow community and to this day, Inhambane's harbour still has the largest fleet of working dhow's!

Although the North facing side of the Peninsula is not as protected from strong currents as the West facing side, the oceans waters are still very calm, creating good conditions for activities such as swimming and snorkling. Barra offers scuba divers many beautiful coral reefs to explore and if you are a deepsea fishing enthusiasts - expect excellent big game fishing!

Catches include: Giant Trevally, Kingfish, Bonito, King & Queen Mackeral, Springer and Kawakawa. Sailfish is popular between the months of April and August where as Marlin are popular between September and January.

Millions of coconut trees thrive In this part of the Inhambane province, so expect plenty of coconuts scattered around. If you ask kindly, staff at the lodges will crack open the coconuts for you!

The locals are very friendly here and every so often, they will walk around with items to sell including, fresh produce, Pau (portugese rolls), prawns, fish to sell (if you use your bargaining skills correctly, you can get them for quite cheap), paintings, arts and crafts and a few other things to take home as a souvenior!
TIP: Mozambicans love clothes and if you have spare clothes (especially board shorts), then remember to take some with you, to trade with!

Barra offers some great nitelife and a few lodges usually have a pub/club effort going on for the tourist who wants to enjoy some good music and local beers with friends.
