Surf: Ilheu das Rolas is a small islet straddling the equator off the southern tip of Sao Tome. It's an amazingly beautiful island, home to a very upscale dive resort called Pestana Equador, better suited to divers and big game fishermen. To reach the island catch the Cariouco boat from São João dos Angolares or Porto Alegre and cheaper accommodation is available at a “Roça.” Praia Pestana, or Fishermen’s Bay, is a Waikiki-style reform, ideal to have fun on a longboard. Environment: Local kids on wooden boards can sometimes be found surfing here.
