Guide to Gabon
Must See Gabon
In association with:
Mayumba would be Gabon's premier beach resort if it weren't so hard to get to. Anyone who does get this far will discover miles and miles of deserted beaches, mangrove swamps and small fishing villages as well as the small town of Mayumba, where you'll probably be offered a place to stay in a private home.
The town is at the end of a long spit of land with ocean on one side and a brackish lagoon on the other, and locals will offer to take you on fishing trips or boat tours of the region for a small price. It's a great place to spend a few lazy beach days enjoying the sun, the waves, fresh seafood and peace and quiet.
