Valu Beach
Praia de Valu
A long white-sand beach facing Jaco Island, with simple community-run campsites and cabins, serving as a base for the eastern route.
Valu Beach lies on the coast below Tutuala village, facing Jaco Island, with white sand and clear water, and snorkelling is possible right off the shore. Community-run bamboo and wooden cabins and campsites serve simple grilled fish and rice. There is no reliable electricity or mobile signal, and accommodation must be paid for in cash. This is also the boat departure point for Jaco Island, and at dawn the sun rises from behind the island. The steep dirt road down from Tutuala village is about 8 km long. After rain, conditions are very poor, so a four-wheel drive is recommended.
