Cabo Ledo

When you life in Luanda, like surfing or camping, Cabo Ledo the Surfers Beach is THE beach to spend the weekend.On this part of the beach there are no facilities except of some small hats to spend shadow.

Bring your caming gear, barbeque, food, drinks and don t forget to sun lotion. As its often windy the sun doesn t seem to be that strong, but you will suffer the whole week looking like a tomato from the grill.

How to get there?
You travel from Luanda South, pass the Kwanzer river as well as Sangano beach and you will reach a growing village called Cabo Ledo. You pass the village up the hill there is one of these fabrics producing stones, here you turn right. Of all the roads turning take the most right one. You ll pass a few containers and then go down the hill. In the bottom you will find Cabo Ledo - Praia dos Surfistas.
