Pomene although difficult to get to, is a beautifully remote location with some excellent dive locations. Located on a peninsula between Vilanculos and Maxixe, Pomene doesn't have a town, but is centered on two resorts Pomene Bay Lodge which sits next to the ocean and Pomene View looking out onto the estuary.

There is little temperature variation between there seasons with average temperatures ranging from the low 20°C (68°F) getting up to 30°C (86°F) during the hottest summer days

June to October

This is generally the driest time of the year and also the period of best water visibility.

Pomene has approximately 12 dive sites which offer some great diving, with plenty of Manta Rays across the area you are likely to have some great dives here!!

22°C to 27°C (71°F to 80°F)  

Light aircraft is probably the best way to get to Pomene, with a scenic flight over the peninsula, flights are reguarly available from Vilanculos.

The drive to Pomene is a difficult one due to the poor state of the roads and shouldn't be attempted unless you are in a 4x4. From the main road there is a sand road to Pomene, and due to the poor quality it will take approximately 3 hours to get there.
