Old colonial fishing port at a river mouth
A small coastal town in southwest Côte d'Ivoire where the Sassandra River meets the Atlantic, with a fishing harbour and nearby beaches. Faded colonial buildings recall its earlier importance before larger ports eclipsed it.
A former French colonial trading and administrative post, it was once a significant coastal port for the region. Its role diminished after the deep-water port at San-Pédro opened.
Safety varies by neighbourhood and changes over time, so there's no one-word answer. Check SkyOSK's safety notes for Sassandra and your government's current travel advisory before you go.
