Makaira beach

Makaira is a small beach in the north of Principe island. The place is beautiful - with trees and palms, and with smooth entry into the water. It is located in a protected bay. So there are no strong waves most of time. The place is located far from it all. So it never becomes crowded. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]

Makaira Lodge is the only hotel near the beach. The best is to search it on Airbnb.

When to go [edit]
