EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the serene beauty of Polana Beach in Maputo, Mozambique, in 1946. The coastal road leading to the beach is lined with lush vegetation, and the tranquil waters of the Indian Ocean gently lap against the golden sand. At the time, Maputo, then known as Lourenco Marques, was the capital city of Portuguese East Africa. The Portuguese influence is evident in the architecture of the buildings along the coast, adding a unique charm to the scene. Polana Beach was a popular destination for locals and expatriates alike, offering a respite from the hustle and bustle of city life. The beach was named after the Polana Hotel, which was a luxurious resort that attracted visitors from around the world. The hotel, which can be seen in the background of the photograph, was known for its elegant design and superior service, making it a symbol of the colonial era in Mozambique. The history of Polana Beach and Maputo is rich and complex, reflecting the diverse cultural influences that have shaped this beautiful African city. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the natural beauty of the coast was a source of inspiration and relaxation. Today, Polana Beach remains a popular destination, attracting tourists from around the world who come to experience the unique blend of history, culture, and natural beauty that makes Mozambique a must-visit destination.
