I snapped a few pics while walking around Coloane the other day. Coloane is great. It's the island at the south end of the Cotai Strip. Actually, it's where Cotai gets the "Co." Coloane seems to be the only place that the gaming and tourism industries haven't moved in and changed things. Don't get me wrong, there's plenty for tourists to come and see in Coloane. I'm just saying it's maintained its old world feel and it's fishing village vibes. There are several beautiful temples on Coloane. There are nice trails cutting back and fourth and around Alto do Coloane. Plus there's a few DOPE bouldering spots. I haven't taken too many pictures there yet. Hell, I haven't even gotten on all the problems there yet. But there's time. The spot is right around the corner from Cheoc Van beach. Another big beach on Coloane, Hac Sa, is over on the east side and is on the South China Sea. Not the cleanest water... very few people brave a swim. But there is a large stand of nice tall, shady trees above the beach. It's sandy and it's a great slackline spot.
