Pointe Denis
Located in the southwestern region of Gabon on the same-named peninsula that separates the Atlantic Ocean from the mouth of the Como River. It is one of the top resorts in the country and a popular holiday place for both visitors and locals. The beach is accessible by boat or ferry from the seaport of Libreville, Gabon's capital. Travel duration is around twenty minutes; it is preferable to book tickets in advance.
You may stay in Pointe-Denis on the furnished beaches of luxury hotels and private homes, as well as in more remote and wild locations on the peninsula's western side. The most essential thing is not to wander too far into the bush or swim too far from the coast — skilled assistance is only available near hotels.
It's also worth noting that the beach is situated on the grounds of a nature reserve, which is home to a diverse range of indigenous animals. That is why it is essential to be cautious, to keep an eye on things, and to examine the feet and sides attentively.
Otherwise, the beach is similar to those of other tropical resorts. The gorgeous beach is flanked by mangrove plants and coated with golden sand. The water is perfectly clean, translucent, and an incredible turquoise color. There are various pubs, restaurants, sports equipment rentals, and water activities in the center area. There are beach umbrellas and sunshades, but don't overlook the protective equipment and caps — the tropical heat is really dangerous!
Exotic and wildlife enthusiasts may see the nests of endangered leatherback turtles (from December to February) or embark on an expedition to the savannah, where elephants, antelopes, and buffalo can be seen. Whales come close to the beach from July to September, and special boat cruises are organized to see them.
These areas have a typical tropical monsoon climate with a protracted rainy season. As a result, the ideal months to visit Libreville's environs are from June to August, when the quantity of precipitation is limited, the air heats up to 30 degrees, and the water in the ocean warms up to 25 degrees. prepared to witness them.
