What to Know About Baia dos Tigres

Key Facts

Baia dos Tigres is a small settlement and former fishing village located within the Tombwa municipality of Namibe Province in Angola. Situated on Tigres Island, which lies approximately 10 kilometers off the coast of southwestern Angola, Baia dos Tigres represents one of the most remote and geographically isolated inhabited locations in the country. The settlement is positioned at the northern end of the island, facing the mainland across a narrow channel. Historically, Baia dos Tigres was a significant fishing center, but environmental changes, including the silting up of the channel that once connected it to the mainland, led to its gradual abandonment. Today, it has a very small, transient population, primarily consisting of fishermen and military personnel, with estimates suggesting fewer than 50 permanent residents. The area covers only a few square kilometers and is characterized by its arid desert environment, strong Atlantic winds, and surrounding sand dunes. Access to Baia dos Tigres is challenging, typically requiring boat transport from the mainland or specialized vehicles capable of navigating the harsh terrain.
