Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Walk
Beloi waterfront
On Ataúro’s coast, Beloi brings together beach, landing pier and fishing life. Walk along the waterfront, then ask local operators about exploring the reef while respecting community marine-protection rules.
Beach
Acrema Beach
Acrema’s white sand borders northeastern Ataúro beside the village. Arrange the journey with a local contact and check the tide: the water can be very shallow at low tide. Respect the residents’ peace and privacy.
Walk
Vila Maumeta village
In Vila Maumeta, explore the main street and discover the island’s craft cooperatives. Boneca de Ataúro makes dolls and embroidery here: contact the workshop to arrange a visit. This stop focuses on village life, complementing the beaches.
