👍👍 Fantastic beach and bay ! Typical and unique “tropical island dream”..... no herds of tourists or big crowds , but instead a feeling of being on an uninhabited island.... sea water is best temp you can imagine ... around the 30-33C / nice rocks to observe fishes and chorals to complete the scenery .

👍👍 Comida fabulosa! Diferente de tudo o que se encontra em São Tomé e Principe. Comemos o atum e o hamburguer de peixe e estavam fenomenais. Provamos as duas mousses e o chessecake na sobremesa e foram sem duvida dos melhores doces que comemos em São Tomé. Vale muito a pena a visita!

There’s a trader at the top with carvings and coconut water to sip on while you catch your breath, and a box for donations to main...
