Barra Beach (Portuguese: Praia da Barra) or simply Barra is a tourist beach in southeastern Mozambique. This holiday settlement lies on the Indian Ocean coast, on the Ponta da Barra peninsula in Inhambane Province, 25 km drive from Inhambane city.[2] A major Mozambican tourist destination, Barra is home to beach resorts, private vacation homes, restaurants and diving charters.[3] Snorkeling is popular below the Barra Lighthouse at low tide where there is a natural tidal pool.[4] The wreck of the SS Inharrime, an Italian built cargo ship that ran aground in 1949, lies exposed nearby.[5] The Barra and Tofo area is one of the global hotspots for divers to see whale sharks, sea turtles and manta rays.
