Boe (full name Madina do Boe) is a settlement in the southeastern Gabú Region of Guinea-Bissau. The population mostly comprises poor Fulani-speaking herders. Although geologically rich in bauxite, the mineral deposits have not been exploited to any great degree due to the ecological sensitivity of the surrounding Boé National Park.
