commune of Ivory Coast
San-Pédro is a city of 260,000 in Southwestern Forests region of Côte d'Ivoire and the nation's second largest port.
There are two major roads leading to San Pedro from Abidjan. The more direct one is the coastal road, going through Sassandra. This road is in a bad state and often closes altogether during the rains. Public transport takes about 10 hours during the dry season. Sassandra et San Pedro is the worst section and takes about 3 hours. The quickest route passes through Gagnoa and Soubré and takes about 8 hours.
Shared taxis go between the city centre and the seaside maquis area for 200 CFA per passenger. Foreigners will be told the price is 1000 but tell the driver that you know the local rate is 200.
The beach is nothing special.
All the major banks have ATMs and are located on Rue de la République in the city centre.
Cold local beers XOF 500.
