Medjumbe Island

Medjumbe Island is one of the Quirimbas Islands off the northern coast of Mozambique, within the Quirimbas National Park. It is privately owned, operated as an exclusive resort.[1] Accommodations are 13 thatched wooden chalets.[2] The island is 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) long and 500 metres (1,600 ft) wide. It is surrounded by spectacular coral reefs.[3] Tourist activities include diving and snorkeling, windsurfing and deep sea fishing.[4]

Medjumbe Lighthouse was built in the 1930s, worked for 3 months, broke down and has been there ever since without working.
