Arena Blanca

Bioko Island


Arena Blanca is a lovely beach close to Luba, with white sand. It is known for its clouds of breeding butterflies. You'll find the beach is cleaner the further away from the car park you walk.

The bars around the car park get very rowdy on Sundays. Be careful getting back to Malabo on Sundays as there can be drunken drivers.
