Chindini, Transport hub and beach destination in Grande Comore, Comoros.
Description
Chindini is a transport hub on the coast of Grande Comore with a train station for regional connections, a ferry port linking neighboring islands, and an adjacent beach. The three areas form a mixed-use location where transport and leisure activities meet.
History
The ferry port gained importance in the 1980s, connecting Grande Comore with neighboring islands like Mohéli and Anjouan. This connection helped boost economic activity in the region.
Culture
Fishermen here use traditional wooden boats and hand-woven nets that have been passed down through generations. These practices shape the daily rhythm of the beach and show how locals connect with the sea.
