I had the pleasure of visiting the most exquisite beach! The water was crystal clear, and the sand was immaculately clean. To my delight, I noticed a group of gentlemen who had set up their tent, which gave me a sense of security. Before descending to the beach, I was captivated by the breathtaking panoramic view. I recommend waiting for the sunset to capture the most stunning photos.

It's quite unfortunate that the beach is littered with trash and plagued by pesky mosquitoes. It's a real shame that people can't seem to clean up after themselves and respect the natural beauty of the area. The constant buzzing and biting of the mosquitoes can really put a damper on any attempt at enjoying a relaxing day at the beach. It's a shame that such a potentially beautiful location is marred by these issues.

In 2017, I had the pleasure of swimming in a beach located between Malabo and Ziama, which was undoubtedly one of the most refreshing and invigorating experiences I've had. However, I must admit that it falls short of being the absolute best beach I've ever visited. Nonetheless, the crystal-clear waters and the serene atmosphere of the beach left an indelible impression on me, and I would highly recommend it to anyone in search of a peaceful and rejuvenating getaway.
