Magaruque Island, formerly Ilha Santa Isabel, is part of the Bazaruto Archipelago, off the coast of Mozambique. It is located 5.6 km south of Benguerra Island, and 9.9 km east of Ponta Chuè on the mainland of Mozambique.
Visitors can walk around this small island in an afternoon and see hundreds of pansy shells exposed by the low tide. The island has a deep channel running just metres from the western shores, which provides excellent snorkelling and scuba diving. On most afternoons dolphins pass by within metres of the beach.
