About this place

Com

Com is a tranquil fishing village on the northeastern coast of Timor-Leste, renowned for its white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters. Located on the western edge of Nino Konis Santana National Park, Com serves as a gateway to the park’s natural wonders and offers a serene escape far from city crowds. Visitors can enjoy fresh seafood at charming local restaurants, unwind at small resorts or guesthouses, and experience authentic village life. The area is popular for fishing, snorkeling, and swimming, especially during the dry season when the water is calm and clear. Com is also an ideal base for birdwatching and exploring the scenic coastline or nearby Jaco Island. To make the most of your visit, bring cash (as there are no ATMs), sun protection, and snorkeling gear. The village is accessible by road from Dili, taking about 6 hours. Police presence and friendly locals make Com a safe destination, but visitors should take care if swimming, as currents can be strong.
