Pemba is the capital of Mozambique's Maputo Province, the country's second largest city, and an important port and economic center located along the Mozambique Channel. The city's blend of colonial flavor and modern energy is known for its well-preserved Portuguese colonial architecture, including the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Fortaleza de São João, which bears witness to the vicissitudes of more than 500 years of history. With long stretches of golden beaches such as Tofari Beach, Pemba is a popular tourist destination in East Africa, attracting surfers and divers. As a cultural and commercial hub, the local area is a blend of traditional cultures of the Makonde and Macanja tribes, with unique seafood cuisine and handicrafts, and is a gateway to exploring the natural and human charms of southern Mozambique.
