Banana Beach in Principe, Sao Tome and Principe
This is Príncipe’s most famous beach – perfect for swimming, with white sand curving in a banana shape around turquoise waters. The easiest way to visit is to stay at Belo Monte. Another way of exploring the beach is on a 25-minute boat trip from Bom Bom.
There is hardly a shoreline quieter and perfect for a-relax-and-reflect getaway spot than Banana Beach on the tiny island of Principe, off the western coast of Africa. Its clear, shallow waters, forest-fringed edges and, quite likely, no other tourist in sight character are as inspiring as they are energizing. Some of the world’s best deep-sea fishing waters are off the coast of Príncipe.
Take a picnic and snorkel set to easily accessible Banana Beach.
You can also hitch a ride or hike to Belo Monte and walk down from Belo Monte in about 25 minutes, via the miradouro (viewpoint). A famous ad for Bacardi rum was filmed at this beach. On a recent visit we came across pieces of tortoiseshell, pointing to the fact that for all its UNESCO Biosphere status, turtles are still being hunted here.

Sao Tome Island, perfect coconut cutting skills Preparing Drinking Coconut, Sao Tome and Principe
On our holiday at the island of Sao Tome, Sao Tome and Principe we did a lot of trips around the island. One day after visiting the closest island Ilheu de Santana we stop at this pristine beach and our guide cut the coconuts with a machete as we watched. Then he cut a hole to drink Coconut Water.
This was my best ever fresh coconut, and believe me, I have tried a lot of fresh coconuts around the world. I know the taste varies with species and age, I found these young coconuts fresh from the tree irresistible. It was so good and refreshing, after drinking the juice we also enjoyed the coconut meat, it was very mild tasting as well.
