Pantufo is a charming coastal area just south of São Tomé city, known for its black-sand beaches and traditional fishing community. Visitors can watch local fishermen haul in their catch, stroll along the shore, or relax at a beachfront bar. The calm waters are suitable for swimming, and the area offers a glimpse into everyday island life. Nearby, the small village has a few restaurants serving fresh seafood. Pantufo is less developed than other beaches, providing a more authentic experience.
