Mocuba (Mocímboa da Praia) is an important port city in Mozambique's Cabo Delgado province, located on the country's northeastern coastline and bordering the Mozambique Channel.

In recent years, despite the regional security situation, its unique tropical seaside landscape has continued to attract some tourists, with white sandy beaches and offshore coral reefs offering potential for tourism development. The city epitomizes the multiculturalism of northern Mozambique with its blend of Portuguese colonial architecture and local Macuhua culture.
