Port-Gentil
Port-Gentil in the Sea of Ogooué, is the economic capital of Gabon, built on the island of Mandji as a peninsula at the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. The Oil City and industrial center of the country welcomes you to its white sand beaches like kaolin. It is 144 kilometers southeast of the capital Libreville, now accessible by plane, boat, and car, thanks to the majestic Omboué Bridge, one of the longest in the subregion.
Port-Gentil's economic activity represents three-quarters of the country's wealth thanks to its timber industry and especially oil production. On the high seas, Sogara's oil rigs make it the only refinery in the country. The main naval base installation of the Gabonese national navy is also there.
Port-Gentil is also a resort with the most beautiful sea views in the subregion and several attractions. Located not far from Carrefour Léon Mba, the Port Gentil fair is an almost abandoned place but is frequented by many young people. Club Sogara is One of the oldest beach clubs for those who love fine sand and golden sunshine. You can go scuba diving, jet-skiing, windsurfing, or water skiing.
