Garoua Travel Guide
Cameroon
Garoua is a city of 436,899 people in northern Cameroon and the capital of the North Region. It is an inland destination rather than a coastal resort, so visitors should not expect seaside beaches close to the city.
Most travellers arriving by air use Garoua Airport, the city’s listed airport. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres of Garoua, so beach trips are not a practical part of a short visit.
