THE FISHING ROAD
Route des pêches to the left of the Porte de Non-Retour, first past the Jardin brésilien and on to Cotonou
At the end of the route des Esclaves, turn left at the Porte de Non-Retour. The trail passes in front of the Jardin Brésilien and continues to... Cotonou. If only the last part is paved (recently), the road should soon reach Ouidah. All along the road, there are fine sandy beaches where fishermen's canoes can be counted by the hundreds at the time of the return from fishing. On Sundays, the Cotonois come to enjoy the beaches and the many establishments that have opened here and there in recent years.

It's a perpetual delight! All the way along, it's just an immense beach of fine sand, with the occasional small fishing village where life seems to have come to a standstill. It's best to go in the morning to see these cohorts of fishermen, one after the other, pulling long, heavy nets for hours on end. Photographers are understandably not welcome.
