Acalayong (ak-KAI-a-long[1]) is a town on the Muni Estuary[2] in Litoral Province, Equatorial Guinea,[1] 80 km SSW from Bata.[1] It is a border crossing town,[1] the only one other than Kogo from which passengers traveling to Gabon from Bata and the other cities, especially those from the Littoral province of Equatorial Guinea sail to Cocobeach, Gabon. [_citation needed_]

Acalayong is not a significant tourist destination.[_citation needed_] The most popular method of crossing the estuary is by pirogues (dugout canoes), which can take passengers across the estuary to Gabon.[_citation needed_]

It is about 15 minutes away from Cogo by pirogue.[3]
