Praia Tamarindos, Golden sand beach in Guadalupe, São Tomé and Príncipe.
The beach extends along the northeastern coast of São Tomé island, featuring a band of golden sand bordered by tall palm trees and dense vegetation.
The beach developed alongside the growth of Guadalupe settlement, which emerged as a fishing community during São Tomé's colonial period in the 1800s.
Local fishermen launch their traditional wooden boats from this beach each morning, maintaining fishing practices passed down through generations.
Visitors can reach the beach via a 15-minute drive from São Tomé International Airport, with several local taxi services operating regular routes.
The beach lies at coordinates 0.4095858, 6.6470038, placing it precisely on the equator line, where visitors experience zero latitude positioning.
