Inhaca Island Lighthouse
Perched on Monte Inhaca at the northeastern tip of Inhaca Island, the historic Farol da Inhaca has guided mariners navigating the treacherous sandbars of Maputo Bay since 1894. The surrounding coastal waters have claimed dozens of European and East African vessels over four centuries of maritime trade. The isolated lighthouse, with its rusted iron tower and historic lightkeeper quarters, is renowned for local tales of phantom light signals, ghostly shipwreck survivors, and disembodied warnings on stormy nights.
