Clube Naval

Pemba


The default expat hang-out, the good ole naval club enjoys a prime waterside setting just off the western curve of Wimbi Beach. Sundowners are practically obligatory here, but the restaurant also has a large menu featuring salads, seafood, chicken, ribs, pizzas and desserts. There’s a volleyball area on the sand, a swimming pool and a small children’s playground.
