Republic of Congo

Atlantic Ocean Central Africa 169 km Coastline

The Republic of Congo (Congo-Brazzaville) has a short but remarkable 169-kilometre Atlantic coastline, centred on the port city of Pointe-Noire. The Conkouati-Douli National Park protects one of Africa's rarest coastal ecosystems—where forest elephants and lowland gorillas can occasionally be seen on the beach. French is the language, oil drives the economy, and the coastal forest remains one of Central Africa's last wilderness frontiers.
