Ilha dos Tigres, the largest island in Angola, is a desolate and hauntingly beautiful desert island located in the Namibe Province. Formerly a peninsula, it became an island in 1962 when the sea breached a narrow sand spit. It is home to the ghost town of São Martinho dos Tigres, a once-prosperous fishing village that was abandoned in 1975 following the Angolan War of Independence. Today, the island is a photographer's paradise, characterized by sand-filled colonial ruins, massive dunes, and an isolated location at the edge of the Namib Desert.
