Grand-Bassam
If you are looking for an African beach vacation, Grand-Bassam is a resort town on the Atlantic coast near the capital of Abidjan. This Caribbean city's palm-lined Atlantic shoreline is a perfect location to unwind after a day of visiting the country. Grand-Bassam, once the nation's capital, is full of crumbling houses that give the town center the appearance of a ghost town. The former governor's residence has been transformed into the National Museum of Costume, which displays traditional clothing from across the country.
Visit Le Katoum, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, for a taste of tropical paradise. Its coastline is surrounded by lovely palm trees and offers kilometers of white sand beaches as well as delicious seafood. Its more isolated setting is great for those seeking peace and quiet. On the beach, you may also buy food and drinks from one of the local stalls.
Visit Grand Bassam to get a taste of authentic African culture. This charming former trading post is now a living museum of colonial times and served as the country's first capital. The Victory Bridge, the art gallery, and the craft center are all open to visitors. Because this is the region's most popular tourist spot, make sure to plan your vacation accordingly. You will enjoy the dense jungle and delectable native cuisine.
