Quick answer

No. There are no ATMs or banks in Santa Maria, so bring sufficient cash in Mozambican Meticais or South African Rand.

The practical answer

Plan for local shopping, guides, small services and incidental costs before leaving Maputo. Cash availability is limited once you reach the peninsula.

Keep cash secure and split it between safe places while travelling. Ask your accommodation which currencies and payment methods they currently accept.
