Lomé Beach & Boulevard du Mono
Plage de Lomé
A city beach stretching along the Gulf of Guinea, where palm trees, the seafront boulevard and evening snack stalls on the sand make up Lomé's everyday scenery.
Just south of central Lomé lies the Atlantic Gulf of Guinea. The seafront boulevard runs alongside a wide sandy beach lined with coconut palms, where locals stroll, kick a football around and eat grilled corn and grilled fish in the evenings. The newly built eastern stretch of the boulevard has bars and restaurants on both sides and comes alive on weekends. Currents and waves along Lomé's coast are strong, so swimming is generally not recommended. Avoid lingering alone on quiet stretches of beach at night, and keep an eye on your phone and belongings.
