Boucareau — Attraction in Communauté urbaine de Limbé

Great location for night time relaxation to eat barbequed sea food and soak up some ocean breeze and the salty air. This beach is not for sun bathing or water sports. If you want that, you have to go a couple of miles along the beach to the twin City of Bota. Well, Bota is part of Limbe...it is just on the outskirts of Limbe.

This city and beach area have a long history with missionaries that arrived from England. Alfred Saker, the old English missionary landed here and names the city Victoria after Queen Victoria of England. (If you know your history, Queen Victoria was then the monarch of England.) Yes, the city of Limbe used to be called Victoria before it's name was changed in the 1980s by politicians. (The name Limbe was chosen as there is a small river called "Limbe" that cuts through parts of the city closed to the botanical gardens.) A commemorative plaque for Alfred Saker is located just down from the beach. Limbe (Victoria) is a city with great history. Also, there is a local and excellent school called Saker Baptist College, named in honour of Alfred Saker. Visit the school if you can.

In the past, the while beach was used by fishermen to land their catched during the day. Locals used to visit the beach every morning to buy fresh seafood for their families. That was because most houses in the 1970s and 1980s did not have deep freezer at home. So, they go to the beach during the day to buy fresh seafood as they were brought in by fishermen.

If you have the time, stroll down to where the customs office is. Close to that area used to be where local communities that earn their livelihood on fishing used to smoke their catch that did not sell during the day. Smoking the seafood help preserve it for line storage. That means the fishes can call sole later in to traders and middlemen who will but for reselling in the hinterlands (i.e....

Great area with high investment opportunity. Unfortunately very little of that potential is used. Beach could use some man help with the cleaning rather than rely on the occasional wave that'll wash the dirt away. Smell is reminiscent of a classic fish market. Someone once asked where they could get shelled sea food: definitely here. The menu is pretty simple. Sea food. Mainly fish. At times u might come across the occasionally roasted prawn or crabs. Great parking for all kinds of people that's disabled or not with easy access to facilities. Pretty secure too There is no swimming. Don't get your hopes up. A lot could be done to make location more attractive like the diversification of market and menu to allow a wider...

I recently visited Down Beach Boucareau and it was a wonderful experience. The beach is absolutely stunning with crystal clear blue waters and soft black sand. The atmosphere is very serene and peaceful, making it the perfect spot to relax and unwind.

The amenities at the beach are great, with clean restrooms, a bar, and roasted fish of all types and tastes.

One of the highlights of my visit was the beautiful view of the sunset. It was truly breathtaking and definitely a must-see for anyone visiting the beach.

Overall, I highly Boucareau to anyone looking for a quiet and picturesque beach getaway. It's a hidden gem that I will definitely be returning to...
