Black sand on the beach of Limbe

A fantastic little town in Cameroon with a nearly forgotten beach is Limbe. Limbe is located in the Southwest region which is anglophone so most of the people speak english. It lays beetween Mount Cameroon and the ocean. Here you can eat fantastic seafood which you can buy from one of many good food stalls next to the fishing harbor or get it in the restaurants. A couple of kilometers north of Limbe you’ll find Batoké Fishing Village, and this is where one of the nicest beaches in Cameroon starts. The sand is black because of a big volcano eruption in 1999. On some strips of the beach you can spend a day without meeting others. But beware. People have reported on getting mugged by local gangs so keeping close to the hotels might be a good idea.

Botanic garden

You can also visit the botanic garden and the Monkey Sanctuary where monkeys who would had becomed bushmeat has been placed.
