From June to September it's Oyster season, we will definitely do plenty visits then!
There is a whale season too.
Where one of the many rivers come into the sea. Mangroves and crabs in abundance!
We did a 2 hour walk down the beach towards the Congo border which isn't too far away, and our only company was thousands of ghost crabs....
Due to the currents on this specific beach there was quite a lot of litter. The Gabonese say it comes from Congo and the ships... They joked that this was definitely a shoe from the Congo as they are giants there!
