Praia Inhame

Praia Inhame is a sandy beach along the eastern coast with dense vegetation pressing close to the shoreline and views toward the Canal das Rolas. The setting feels remote, with few signs of development and a raw, natural character throughout.

Portuguese sailors used this coastal area as an arrival point during colonial exploration of the region. The beach's role as a gateway to inland exploration remains part of its story.

The area remains tied to fishing practices that shape daily life for residents who work the waters. Visitors can observe how the sea continues to be central to how people in this region spend their days.

The beach sits about two hours by car from São Tomé city, with the final part of the journey requiring a four-wheel drive vehicle. Visitors should prepare for a long drive and check road conditions before going.

The vegetation surrounding this beach has attracted scientific attention for the wildlife species found here, making it a focus for ecological research. This adds another layer to understanding the place beyond its role as a simple beach.
