Ponta do Ouro is a breath of fresh ocean air, located just 10 kilometers by road from the South Africa border and butting up neatly to the deep-blue Indian Ocean. A sleepy fishing town at heart, the place beats with the energy of some local tavernas and bamboo beach shacks. These draw a small but uber-friendly crowd of swimmers and snorkelers and surfers during the high season.
However, Ponta do Ouro is also becoming famous for its most elegant marine creature: the dolphin.
Excursions out to see the pods flipping and twisting through the waves out at sea are now one of the most popular activities!
