Le Rocher des Amours, Natural rock formation in San-Pédro, Ivory Coast.
The rocks create natural silhouettes along the coastline, serving as a landmark for fishermen and visitors exploring the shoreline.
Early inhabitants of San-Pédro used these rocks as a maritime navigation point and gathering place for traditional ceremonies.
Local residents share a tale of two lovers who turned to stone to remain together despite their families' opposition.
Visitors can access the site year-round, with optimal visibility during the dry season from November through April.
Local fishermen gather near the rocks each morning to prepare their nets and share maritime knowledge.
