Nice museum and shop in Morro Peixe. By visiting, you are supporting marine turtle conservation in São Tomé. You need to call ahead to arrange your visit!

Museum of the Sea in Morro Peixe fishermen village. Very nice to learn about sealife and local species in São Tomé waters. Not always open, so better ask locals for Nina or Mr Hipolito when you arrive.

Great museum run by Hipolito. Man passionate about turtle preservation. He has devoted a large part of his life to it since 1996. If you ever want to visit it and watch the turtles hatch, do not hesitate to go to the website of the Tato Program association.

Very interesting and well organized museum. Small place but full of information about the marine life in São Tomé. The guy explaining it all is great, visit is 2€ per person.
