Bijilo Forest Park, also known as Monkey Park, is a 51-hectare coastal reserve with well-marked walking trails through woodland and coastal scrub. It's a prime spot for birdwatching, with over 100 species recorded, and for seeing green vervet monkeys and red colobus monkeys up close. The park's boardwalk leads to a viewing platform overlooking the Atlantic. Visitors can enjoy a peaceful nature walk while listening to bird calls and the rustle of monkeys in the trees.
