Mami Wata: The Cheapest place for Ex-Pat Port Gentil, Port-Gentil

 Rettna Says:  This is a beach pub which serves brochettes to the brave. The Castel is cold and the best price in the Industrial side of town. You can have a table in the sand with the ocean twenty feet away or you can sit under the roof. I have never eaten here, only drank the beer!...

Copacabana: Copacabana

Copacabana: Copacabana, Port-Gentil

 Cabana_Boy Says:  The Copacabaña mostly occupies a breeze way between two houses down a bumpy side street somewhere in Port Gentil. The kitchen seems to be in one house, while the bar and additional seating are in the second... Not much for decor as one should expect from any local dining...

The beer hunt continues...in Port Gentil, Gabon..., Port-Gentil

 Cabana_Boy Says:  Wherever you go, whatever you do, sampling the local beer is definite must.What do the locals drink, what beer is most popular, which beer is hardest to find, does it come in a half pint glass just like grandma used to drink…or better still, a full pint glass like I drink???...

 Cap Lopez is a small beach just east up the coast from Port Gentil Harbour. It is special because there is no corral reef, just a shelf, and the waves come into the beach at all angles. Unforunately,...
