      Pemba is a port town located on the south side of the world's third-largest natural bay, with a population of around 100,000. It is the most important center in [wiki=7ccb8a2662f6ec599da860fa27bc5a8f]Northern Mozambique[/wiki], with banks, patisseries, supermarkets and restaurants, though it retains a rundown feel with its potholed streets. The town was built over rolling hills, and most people live in wooden huts set amongst the numerous thick baobab trees.

      The history of the people of the Cabo Delgado province weaves throughout many centuries of African, Arab and Portuguese sailing, trading and settling.

      The town was founded by the Niassa Company in 1904 as Porto Amelia, after a queen of Portugal. It was renamed Pemba at the end of Portuguese rule, in 1975.

      Pemba is renowned for its Portuguese colonial architecture, and is a prime destination for water sports and diving enthusiasts as a coral reef lies close to the shore. Pemba has increasingly become a tourist destination, particularly for upper-middle class Mozambicans and South Africans, and international flights and new facilities are emerging steadily.

      Banguia Authentic Traditional Market Baraca meaning Cheap Shop is a traditional shopping village. It is a long 2km road just above Av. Da Marginal (coastal road). Selling everything a local Mozambican would need as well as arts and crafts, even the Tinman making stoves & pots and Tailors sewing in the side of the road.

      Avoid ivory, coral, shells and turtle shell said to be sold at the market, since this is sold contrary to Mozambican and International Law.
      Coral serves its purpose either dead or live.
      It is a home, breading and feeding grounds to juvenile marine life.

      You can not buy plastic shells and most imitation turtle shell, are not plastic. Test it by tapping it against your teeth, bone against bone is the animal. All shells are alive when harvested; dead shells no longer get washed up anymore. Live shells have a shine when it is killed and the animal removed. Shells that die from natural causes will build up saline sediment and with in a week loose its shine. A bigger crime are juvenile shells been sold, there no way reproduction can occur.

      Rather, purchase natural materials such as coconut fibre, bamboo or wooden arts and crafts. Careful with Blackwood: it is scarce and grows very slowly, taking a life time to grow as thick as your arm. Just buying arts and crafts from/next to stall/vendor, that sell shells or coral will still encourage the illegal sales. Vendors, who claim their ignorance, ask for patience and sympathy are often dishonest. Tough love is the best solution.

      Hitchhiking around Pemba is safe. There are public buses on the main routes at 5mts.
      Check the rates before getting in. A taxi ride from the airport to the furthest part of town could cost around 7 dollars = 15km during the day. Charges for transfers with some hotel shuttles are free, except at 04h00 or in the early hours of the morning.

      Small US$ notes are reluctantly exchanged, and in some cases not, as banks give locals a tough time when they try and exchange these. Try to keep small notes to a minimum, but they are useful for taxi rides and curio purchases.

      The beach curio sellers usually mark up substantially. Start negotiations at a quarter of their price and never settle for more than 60%. They negotiate hard, but walk away and they will follow you. Walk away where animals, shells or coral is sold.
