Calm, clean and beautiful place to visit. You can get a one hour boat ride through the lagoon for around 20 euro. Staff are honest and uncomplicated, prices are fixed. There are local restaurants with fresh seafood etc. Also some fancy hotels/resorts. Beaches here are sparkling clean and there are places suitable for families/kids. Highly recommended!

Highly recommended when on the Petite Cote. The ride in pirogue in the mangroves is a must have. We paid 10000 fcfa for two people with Paco.
