Lagarto beach

Lagarto is a beach located to the south of Sao Tome island airport. It is also known as Praia Nazare. In fact, these are few small patches of sand between the sea and the road. However, there are trees and even tiki huts. So it's quite Ok for a city beach. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]

Hotels [edit]

Hotel Praia is a four-star resort with rooms' rates starting from US$160 per night. It has a large scenic pool, while the location is great near the airport and not far from the city. However, the service is not what one might expect from their expensive price tag. Nearby, there are also few cheaper accommodation options.

How to get there [edit]

Fly to Sao Tome international airport (TMS). Next hire a taxi. There is also public transport on the island, but the bus routes are not convenient for tourists in most cases.

When to go [edit]

The best time for a beach holiday in Sao Tome and Principe is a dry season from June to September. Unfortunately, sea water is relatively cold during this period.
