So, you were convinced that Luanda is lucky for having the Island of Luanda… Well, It is, but wait until I tell you about Mussulo! Mussulo is a few km south to Luanda city center and is a 30km long tongue of land/sand. The water is even warmer than in rest of Angola and without waves, so it creates a (huge) lagoon like environment in the sea. To go there you should get a boat from mainland. It is possible to use an SUV, but there’s no road and really far way. In Mussulo you will find a few resorts, many private houses (some ridiculously luxurious) with almost private beaches, but also some secular beaches with little to no people. It’s just next to Luanda’s chaos, but you have a complete different and chilled vibe there. Just perfect to relax under the sun and forget about the day life problems for a few hours or weekend. It is, of course beautiful with a long beach, warm seawater, palm trees… check some photos:
