Beach near Yaounde, Cameroon

Yaounde Travel Guide

Cameroon

Yaounde is Cameroon’s capital and a city of around 4.5 million people in the country’s central region. It sits inland, so it is not a coastal base for beach trips.

Travellers arriving by air can use Yaounde Nsimalen Airport or Yaounde Ville Airport. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres of the city, making Yaounde better suited to an inland city stay than a beach break.
