A stunning 30km long sand spit and lagoon located immediately south of Luanda's city center.
Cabo Ledo Bay
Famous for its world-class surf breaks and dramatic white limestone cliffs overlooking the Atlantic.

The unique Restinga peninsula that creates one of Africa's finest natural deep-water harbors.
Baía Azul
The 'Blue Bay' of Benguela, known for its crystal clear waters and semi-circular sandy beaches.
Namib Desert Edge
