Sassandra

Sassandra is a sleepy yet charming coastal town the Southwestern Forests region of Côte d'Ivoire.

Understand
Sassandra lies on an estuary at the mouth of the Sassandra River. The town was founded by the Portuguese as Santo André and was later run by the British, then the French, as a seaport for timber. The town declined in the 1960s after the port at San-Pédro was completed.

Now fishing is the source Sassandra's livelihood. The fishermen are often Ghanaians, so there is a chance some English will be spoken if you happen to bump into one.
