Paquitequete
On Pemba's outskirts are several colourful and vibrant bairros (neighbourhoods). The most intriguing is Paquitequete, which is on the southwestern edge of the peninsula and is Pemba's oldest settlement. In contrast with the other bairros, which are newer and more heterogeneous, the population here is almost exclusively Muslim, and predominantly Mwani and Makua. The atmosphere is at its best in the late afternoon just before sunset.

Kalk Bay Harbour
Kalk Bay’s attractive fishing harbour is at its most picturesque in the late morning when the community’s few remaining fishing boats pitch up with their daily catch and a lively quayside market ensues. This is an excellent place to buy fresh fish for a braai (barbecue) or to spot whales during the whale-watching season.

Harbour
Durban's harbour is the busiest in Southern Africa (and the ninth busiest in the world). A pleasant place to view the activity is from Wilson's Wharf or the balcony at the BAT Centre.

Pecherie
The Pecherie is a good place to walk and watch the fish being landed off boats as well as locals trying their luck with rod and line.
