Praia Piscina beach

Praia Piscina is a wild beach in the south of Sao Tome island. There is a regular swimming area, as well as natural pools in the rocks being filled up during the high tide. The place is beautiful, with good swimming. Road to the beach is hard. So 4WD vehicle is a must. Or you may just walk here from the nearest hotels. Usually, there is a guard at the car parking. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]
