Maxixe is the largest city and economic capital of Inhambane Province in southern Mozambique, although the provincial government sits in Inhambane City. It lies on the Indian Ocean just south of the Tropic of Capricorn, in a bay opposite historic Inhambane, which local ferries reach easily; by road the distance to Inhambane is far longer, about 60 kilometres. Maxixe serves as a convenient stop for traffic heading north or south along the EN1 highway.
