Lagoa Azul

This is one of the most popular attractions and beaches in STP. Very laid, it is one of the most visited beaches for swimming, snockling, and instagrammable photos. On a good day, you'll find very few people there where the bins are not overflowing. The volcanic rocks give the water a beautiful turquoise blue colour. It is more of a rocky bay than a sandy beach. A hike to the nearby hill gives a stunning of the area. It is very rocky, and visitors need to be careful with the climb.

This beach is the most beautiful one on this part of the island! We were very lucky to have visited during a very beautiful day. The beach was also very empty, there were only 2 other people swimming and 2 other guys who were selling things but they were not intrusive which was great. I highly recommend visiting! Also “hike” to the hill that’s there as it offers great views. It only takes about 5 minutes to get up there.

I wasn’t too disappointed when we left this beach. Water was very nice tho. Beach not really existent.

Lagoa Azul Beach is a natural pool with crystal clear, turquoise water, located on the east coast of São Tomé Island. It is known for its calm and clear waters, perfect for swimming and diving. Surrounded by a stunning landscape of volcanic rocks and tropical vegetation, the Blue Lagoon offers a truly serene and relaxing experience. With its friendly craft vendors ready to showcase the country's traditional products such as earrings, hand-carved paintings with fascinating and readable designs. To get to Lagoa Azul, it is often necessary to take a short walk from the main road, following trails through the rainforest. However, the natural beauty of the place makes it worth the effort. The Blue Lagoon is one of the many natural gems that São Tomé and Príncipe has to offer and is an unmissable destination for nature lovers and travelers in search of tranquility and untouched beauty.

Clean beach with scenic rocks and a picturesque view. If you’d like a short hike, there’s a lighthouse at the summit that makes for a perfect shot.

It is a blue lagoon indeed. Peaceful place to appreciate nature, swim and take stunning photos.

Awsome place with true natural beauty.superb touristic place where you can enjoy sunrise,sunset,snorkeling ,cliff diving,scooba diving etc. The place is superbly neat and clean with proper waste management system unlike other countries.
