La Baie de Loango

Loango Bay is one of the few rocky areas on the Congolese coast. These waters are sheltered from the strong sea currents that constantly sweep the country's beaches. In this creek spared by the swell, an important biodiversity has developed around the piles of rocks. Thus, throughout the year, a large population of sea turtles, mainly juvenile green turtles, but also hawksbill, olive ridley and leatherback turtles are concentrated in this area.

Loango Bay is also a historical site of the slave trade. It was indeed one of the main gates for the embarkation of the unfortunate candidates for this forced exile.
