La Bouche du Roi Beach, Grand Popo

La Bouche du Roi is in Avloh, which is in southern Benin. This narrow swath of soft sand runs as far as the eye can see, offering warm seawater on one side and chilly lagoon water on the other. The beautiful views are unrivaled, and this beach is ideal for relaxing because it is surrounded by a tranquil ambiance. It is seldom crowded or busy here; nevertheless, there are no facilities or places to dine or stay in the region.

The Bouche du Roi formerly denoted the mouth of the Mono River in southern Benin. This would be an incorrect French translation of the Portuguese phrase "a boca do rio," which means "the mouth of the river."

There, you'll uncover its vast lagoon, which you'll see when canoeing down the Mono River to the King's mouth. You can also participate in the tours which allow you to discover the area easily.
