Malanza beach

Malanza is a beach in the southeast of Sao Tome island. Despite its location in a protected bay, waves are usually strong here. In addition, sea water is muddy due to several rivers flowing into the ocean. In the village (east coast), you can walk around watching the local life of fishermen - mostly poor. But the swimming is much better in the west side being wild enough with many shaded palms and good swimming both in the sea, as well as in the creek. Shore and seabed: sand. [edit]

Hotels [edit]

There are no hotels in the village of Malanza. The nearest hotel is located a little further to the south. It is Big Mama's Little House Casa da Mãe Grande with rooms' rates starting from US$100 per night.

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.
