Down Beach - Atlantic Ocean @ Limbe (Cameroon)

Down Beach, one of the very famous beaches located in Limbe (Cameroon - Central Africa). The beautiful beach is on the Atlantic Ocean.

Beach attracts thousands of tourists every day. The water is clean but it looks black as sand is Black there. Little maintenance needs to be taken care of by the competent authorities.

A beautiful food court is available near the Beach and you will get verities of food there. I was surprised to get vegetarian food. Food is quite reasonable and tasty.
