Quick answer

Yes, shore angling along the main ocean beach and rocky headlands is very popular.

The practical answer

Target species include wave garrick, pompano, kingfish, and stumpnose. Ensure you hold a valid shore-fishing license obtained in Maputo or via your lodge, and avoid designated marine sanctuary zones.
