Because it’s so uncrowded, it’s great for everything – sunbathing, water sports, walks along the sand, and cycling.

Located in the Central River Region, these circles are believed to be the burial sites of ancient kings and chiefs.Dated to 750-1000 AD, the stones and layouts vary from 4-6 metres in diameter, with anywhere from ten to 20 stones each.Each stone has an average height of six feet and many tourists and archaeologists have puzzled over their origins and true meaning.Though the biggest concentration of stone circles is in the Wassu area, there are hundreds of circles throughout the country.
Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2006, local legend has it that if anyone disturbs the stones they will be cursed – a good clue as to why they have remained undisturbed for so long.
