Two possibilities: Cross the Kwanza Bridge into the National Park of Quisama (80km south of Luanda) - see the 'Cabo Ledo' spot for details of this particular pleasure. About 1km after the bridge, at the end of the obvious flood plain, take a dirt track west (right) along the mud-flats through the grasslands down to the beginning of the rivermouth sand-spit, which extends 2km northwards. Park here and make your way along the seashore south (easier at low tide).
Alternatively, 500m before the bridge, turn right and follow the signs to the restaurant on the river front (a slightly surreal experience - but good food and a very chilled place to hang out). From here get a boat to take you across the river - you will end up pretty close to the foot of the cliffs where you would park, had you driven. This route is quick and easy - make sure you arrange a pick-up, as it would be a bad idea to try and paddle back across (sharks and crocs)... However, this method means that you have entered the national park of Quisama - illegally. Any confrontation with police,soldiers,park guards etc could prove costly and time consuming. Best to get a ticket first at the bridge!
