Sipopo Beach
Playa de Sipopo
A new resort district east of Malabo, lined with beach hotels, a conference centre and artificial islands. It is the most convenient swimming and leisure spot in the capital.
Sipopo lies about 15 km from central Malabo. Built as a new district for the 2011 African Union summit, it has five-star hotels, a conference centre, villa compounds and artificial islands. The beach is maintained by the hotels and is quite clean and tidy. Visitors can swim, sunbathe and eat seafood here, and local families come to relax on weekends. The public beach entrance is near the conference centre, while some sections belong to hotels and require a purchase to enter. A taxi from the city centre takes about 20 minutes.
