Paradise by the Sea: Discover Douala's Sand Beach

Getting There

• Walking

  From the center of Edea, head west toward Avenue des Martyrs. Continue straight until you reach the intersection with Rue des Fleurs. Turn left onto Rue des Fleurs and walk until you hit the main road, Boulevard de l’Unité. Cross the road carefully and continue walking straight. After about 1.5 kilometers, you will reach a roundabout. Take the first exit (right) onto Route de Douala. Continue walking for another 2 kilometers until you reach the next roundabout. At this roundabout, take the second exit onto Avenue de la Réunification. Follow this road for approximately 3 kilometers until you reach the beach area. Look for signs directing you to Sand Beach.

• Motorbike Taxi (Benskin)

  If you prefer to take a motorbike taxi, find a Benskin driver at any popular spot in Edea, such as the Edea market. Tell the driver you want to go to Sand Beach (they will likely understand the location). The driver will take you along Avenue des Martyrs, then onto Boulevard de l’Unité, and finally to Route de Douala. The ride will take approximately 15-20 minutes, depending on traffic. Make sure to confirm the fare before starting your journey.

• Bicycle Rental

  For a more adventurous option, consider renting a bicycle from a local shop in Edea. Start your ride from the center of Edea, heading towards Avenue des Martyrs. After approximately 1 kilometer, turn left onto Rue des Fleurs. Stay on this path until you reach Boulevard de l’Unité. Cross the road and continue straight on Route de Douala. This route will take you through scenic areas, and it should take around 30-40 minutes to reach Sand Beach, depending on your pace.
