Limbe
A popular tourist haunt, Limbe is a gorgeous seaside town
located on Cameroon's western coast. Set within a beautiful bay,
against the backdrop of an imposing mountain range, Limbe was an
important port city in colonial times - and retains a vestige of
this history, in the form of a magnificent German-built Bismarck
Tower overlooking Down Beach. Down Beach, with its black sand and
warm sea temperatures, is a favourite place for tourists to kick
back and relax, while the nearby Limbe Wildlife Centre and
Botanical Gardens are also worthwhile day trips. Boasting the best
nightlife of any Cameroonian city, tourists are sure to find Limbe
a fun-filled and relaxing stopover on their great African
adventure.
