São Tomé and Príncipe · São Tomé · 96 m
Short description of Ilhéu das Rolas
The equator runs across this islet and is marked by a monument on a low hill, which is the single most photographed object in the country and the reason most people make the crossing at all. The islet is small enough to walk over in a morning on a marked trail, with a resort holding most of it, a run of sheltered beaches and a house reef good enough that the dive boats come down from the capital. Getting here means twenty minutes in an open boat from the village at the end of the road.
