1650 kilometres of coastline, cultural heritage from bygone eras and the feeling of discovering a new Africa.
Between the Atlantic Ocean and untouched nature, Angola invites you to discover an Africa off the beaten track - raw, pristine and full of surprises. With around 1,650 kilometers of coastline, Angola offers a fascinating variety – endless sandy beaches, crystal-clear water, protected lagoons and perfect surf spots. While the Mussulo Peninsula at the gates of Luanda is particularly popular with locals with beach clubs such as Café del Mar, further south regions such as Benguela or Namibe inspire with their pristine beauty.
Benguela, the charming town on the bay of the same name, impresses with its exciting mix of architecture, golden sandy beaches such as Praia Morena and historical highlights such as the cathedral and the Museu de Benguela. A must for nature lovers: the turquoise-colored Baía Azul, whose calm waves tempt you to swim and relax.
In the far southwest, the desert meets the Atlantic in Namibe. The breathtaking dune landscapes of the Iona National Park and almost deserted beaches such as Praia do Sol make the region a natural gem. Here, visitors can observe rare animal species or simply enjoy the magical silence.
Water sports enthusiasts will find ideal conditions along the entire coast: Whether kitesurfing in the Baía dos Tigres, diving in untouched coral reefs or relaxed paddling in sheltered lagoons.
With the new slogan »Visit Angola - The Rhythm of Life«, the country invites travelers to discover Africa off the beaten track. The Telegraph recently described Angola as one of the last blank spots on the world tourist map - a place where adventure and authenticity are still a given.
