The atmosphere of white sand beach lined with palm trees makes Mussulo a very relaxing place for vacation travelers. You can get to the Mussulo Island by road (4x4 only), though Barra do Kwanza but motor boats are the most used to reach that sight of wonderful beaches of warm waters and sun protected by the shade of green coconut trees.

Finally, Mussulo Island is not exactly an island. It is a large tidal lagoon, extending some 35 km (22 miles) along the coast.
