The town centre, beach and cathedral are about 1 km to the west, and the airport is next to the town.
About Annobon
Annobon, also called Pagalu, is the smallest province of Equatorial Guinea: a single volcanic island of about 17 square km in the Gulf of Guinea, some 670 km from Malabo, with roughly 5,000 inhabitants.
Steep forested peaks and deep valleys surround Lago A Pot, a crater lake at the centre of the island, and the coast has fine sand beaches. Most people live from fishing in the small capital, San Antonio de Pale, on the north coast, which has the airport, a hospital and a cathedral.
Access is by occasional flights and twice-monthly ferries from Malabo, and no cruise line currently lists a call.
