Beach description
Coco used to be just an unremarkable small fishing village, but now it's one of the most promising tourist destinations in Gabon thanks to the unique Crystal Mountains natural reserve, located a few kilometers away. Another highlight of Coco is its magnificent beaches covered with soft white sand and framed by an emerald necklace of exotic palm trees and mangroves. This is a real paradise for fans of pristine nature, where every true connoisseur of beach holidays dreams of being in.
The beach does not have the usual infrastructure, all amenities are concentrated in a few nearshore cafes. There you can also rent sun loungers and umbrellas or exchange them for purchased food and drinks. Activities include water rides, fishing in the open sea and diving tours to small uninhabited islands lost in the Gulf of Guinea.
When is the best time to go?
A typical tropical monsoon climate with a long rainy season is typical of these places. Therefore, the best months to visit the surroundings of Libreville are from June to August, when the amount of precipitation is minimal, the air warms up to 30, and the water in the ocean – up to 25 degrees.
