It sits at the southern entry of the Mozambique Channel.•23°55′36″S 35°31′48″E / 23.92667°S 35.53000°E Medieval dhows of the Kilwa Sultanate rarely (if ever) sailed below it, thereby making Cape Correntes the southern boundary of the Swahili Coast and cultural zone. Local legends said the cape was inhabited by mermaids that lured unfortunate sailors to their deaths.
