San Pedro: A Top-Choice Beach Resort Destination
San Pedro, the pearl of southwestern Ivory Coast, is a town renowned for its beautiful beaches. An unmissable tourist destination in Ivory Coast, the capital of the Bas-Sassandra District is a dream seaside resort. Located between the Ébrié Lagoon and the Atlantic Ocean, it is bordered by fine golden sandy beaches, offering visitors peaceful and pleasant places to enjoy the Ivorian coastline.
In the heart of San Pedro, stand two massive rocks connected by a natural bridge: the lovers’ rock. Every day, hundreds of tourists from all corners of the country and West Africa flock to it.
“I’m from Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. It’s a real pleasure for me to discover Ivory Coast and San Pedro in particular. The beaches are magnificent,” enthuses Oumar Bougoum.

“The atmosphere is good here. We never get bored when we visit the beaches of San Pedro,” confides Davilla Adia, a student.
At the center of this seaside and port city now stands the 20,000-seat Laurent Pokou Stadium. The imposing infrastructure announces the colors of the 34th edition of the African Cup of Nations (AFCON 2023), which will be held in Ivory Coast in a week.
Equipped with modern facilities, the Laurent Pokou Stadium is ready to host the matches of Group F, composed of the teams of Morocco, DRC, Zambia and Tanzania.
To facilitate access to San Pedro and breathe new life into the region’s development, the Ivorian government has undertaken major road works. The Côtière, a section connecting San Pedro to Abidjan, over 353 kilometers long, makes it possible to reach Abidjan from San Pedro in 3 hours, compared to 10 hours by road before its renovation.
