The following list highlights some of the best places to visiting in Sao Tome and Principe. So if you are in Sao Tome and Principe, I recommend visiting the following:
- Praia das Bananas, Belo Monte, Sao Tome and Principe
- Praia dos Tamarindos, Guadalupe, Sao Tome and Principe
- Obo Natural Park, Monte Carmo, Sao Tome and Principe
- Praia Macaco, Belo Monte, Sao Tome and Principe
1. Praia das Bananas, Belo Monte
Made famous by the Bacardi ads, this beach is as spectacular as the pictures on the internet make it out to be, a beautiful and heavenly private beach. The best time to visit is between March and May, when it usually rains daily, giving way to blue skies and warm temperatures to make the most of the spectacular beaches.
2. Praia dos Tamarindos, Guadalupe
It is the first beach that appears in about 30 minutes by car from Santo Tomé. Very close to Morro Peixe and difficult to access. A great place to see, walk and swim. On weekends it gets crowded with locals, so if you go during the week, you will be almost alone.
3. Obo Natural Park, Monte Carmo
From tours through still-functioning cocoa and coffee plantations to large-scale expeditions through the jungle, Ovo National Park offers a landscape with a thousand faces yet to be discovered. This natural park offers a landscape of cliffs, rainforests, giant mountains and rich endemic plants, making it one of the exotic destinations to visit in Sao Tome and Principe.
4. Praia Macaco, Belo Monte
Praia Macaco is a sufficiently attractive (and difficult to access) beach to emulate many of Principe’s assets. Its length is much longer than Banana Beach, and the chances of encountering bathers are very low. The closed and abandoned hotels detract from its grandeur, but the warmth and blue waters are not.
