Ponta Techobanine
A headland with high dunes north of Mamoli, offering views over an almost empty coastline and tidal pools good for snorkeling.
Ponta Techobanine lies in the middle section of the marine protected area. High vegetated dunes reach out into the sea to form a headland, and the viewpoint overlooks long, almost empty sandy beaches and reef belts on both sides. The tidal pools beneath the headland are rich in fish, making them good for snorkeling at low tide, and a few small eco-lodges are nearby. The road is harder than the route to Mamoli, so you need a four-wheel-drive or a lodge transfer, about 1 hour one way. There are no shops nearby, so bring your own supplies. It suits visitors who are staying a while in Ponta do Ouro and want to explore a remote stretch of coast.
