Ponta do Ouro

Eastern Africa

Ponta do Ouro is a coastal town in Matutuíne District of Maputo Province, in the far south of Mozambique. It lies on the Indian Ocean coast just north of the border with the South African province of KwaZulu-Natal and is the southernmost settlement on the Mozambican coast. It is known for its beaches, a resident dolphin population, scuba diving and deep-sea fishing, and is a popular holiday destination. Wikipedia gives coordinates for Ponta do Ouro that fall at about 26.85 degrees south and 32.89 degrees east. The SRTM 90 metre elevation model reads about 33 metres above sea level at that point. Like the rest of Mozambique, Ponta do Ouro keeps Central Africa Time, which is two hours ahead of UTC all year.
