Igreja Benguela, Angola - Igreja da Nossa Senhora do Populo

Benguela's airport is borderline defunct, with all commercial passenger flights routed through nearby Catumbela airport IATA Flight Code: CBT, with regular service from Luanda and Lubango. It's to the north right between Benguela and Lobito.

By road, it is about an seven-hour trip from Luanda, once you clear Luanda's traffic.

Travelling by rail is once again an option, but trains are infrequent and slow. There is a daily commuter train from nearby Lobito and at least a once-weekly overnight train from Huambo, with connections from Luao next to the border with the Democratic Republic of Congo. Benguela station GPS -12.577318,13.411862 is located on Rue 31 de Janeiro.

Beaches

There are several beautiful beaches around Benguela, including one right in the town center! The best beach resort hotel, though, is in Lobito. The beaches outside the city are close by and easy to reach by car, either your own or a hired taxi. They're really beautiful too, with the bluest water and the whitest sand and most are flanked by dramatic cliffs. But remember that tourist facilities are limited and beaches are not well-maintained. A visit with high expectations of a tropical paradise vacation risks disappointment.

• Baia Azul - Baia Farta - GPS: -12.6217,13.2391 Thit is the most famous beach in Angola. If postcards were a thing in this country, this would crop up frequently. It is named for its exceptionally blue waters. There are only a few restaurants and few people as well — it's a nice, quiet retreat. There is at least one hotel here (see Hotel Duas Faces below).
• Caotinha Beach - GPS: -12.6022,13.2650 Thit is a series of little beach inlets just south of Benguela, some of which are totally deserted. You can hike from one to the next.

• Praia Morena - GPS: -12.5785,13.3947 Thit is the city's main beach, right near the center. On holidays it can get extremely crowded, but it's empty. It's a fairly narrow stretch of sand between the road and the ocean, but the water is and sand are both nice.
