Boca do Inferno (Hell’s Mouth)

São Tomé Island (South) , São Tomé and Príncipe

Boca do Inferno (Hell’s Mouth), located on São Tomé Island in São Tomé and Príncipe, is a dramatic coastal rock formation created by the constant force of the Atlantic Ocean on the island’s volcanic shoreline.

Waves rush into a narrow lava-carved tunnel and are forced upward through an opening in the rocks, producing powerful jets of water and a roaring sound that inspired the name “Hell’s Mouth.” Surrounded by rugged black volcanic rocks, lush tropical vegetation, and stunning ocean views, the site is one of the island’s most popular natural attractions.

Visitors come to watch the spectacular blowhole in action, especially during high tide or rough seas when the sprays can rise several meters into the air. Easily accessible from São Tomé, Boca do Inferno offers a memorable glimpse into the island’s volcanic origins and the raw power of the Atlantic. Its dramatic scenery and unique geological features make it a favorite destination for sightseeing and photography.
