User reviews
"The Awala Yalimapo beach is quite beautiful, with its surroundings featuring games for children, carbets with tables and benches. We had a good time there, though it's a shame that the remains of the former penal colony are not given more attention. However, there are workshops run by skilled artisans who create and sell lovely items."
