Lobata
8.3
Mid score (6-8)
Eastern side facing the mainland coast. Cocoa plantations and fishing communities mixed together. Some towns have basic services—cold beer, fuel, phone signal works most days. Population is young and agricultural work is the reality, but unlike the far districts, there's actual through-traffic and enough movement that foreigners aren't completely exotic.
Lower score (below 6)
Still 1.5-2 hours from the capital on roads that flood in heavy rain. Limited tourism infrastructure and the economy is subsistence-based—locals are working to survive, not playing host to visitors. Sex ratio skewed toward men due to migration.
