Agoué plage
Description
Agoué plage is a wide sandy beach in Grand Popo that stretches to the water and is lined with coconut palms. The shore is long and flat with soft sand, while coral reefs near the coast keep the water calmer at certain times.
History
The coastline of Grand Popo has been a fishing and trading place for generations, where communities lived closely with the sea. Over time, traders and later missionaries arrived, shaping the region and bringing cultural changes.
Culture
Agoué plage is where fishermen work daily and local families gather to enjoy time by the water. You can see people collecting shells and preparing food on the sand, activities that tie the community to the sea and its rhythms.
Practical
The beach is easy to reach via small paths leading to the sand, and local guides can show you the best spots. Be aware that swimming can be dangerous due to underwater rocks and reefs, especially when the tide comes in.
Did you know?
The area has struggled with coastal erosion since the 1950s, with the sea steadily reclaiming land and entire villages disappearing. Government projects and international cooperation work to slow this natural process and protect the shoreline.
