The Santa Maria Channel that separates the island of Inhaca from the continent has such violent currents that they are called Portoes do Diabo (the devil's gates).

Portuguese Island, 3 km north-west of Inhaca, is uninhabited and delicious, and you can walk between the two islands at low tide.

The name "Inhaca" is derived from the name of a Tsonga Chief, Nhaca, who lived here in the 16th century, and looked after shipwrecked Portuguese sailors.
