Baille-Argent Fishing Port & Fish Market (Pointe-Noire)

16° 15.7′ N · 61° 48.4′ W · approximate

Pointe-Noire's working fishing harbour in the Baille-Argent district, with the commune's fish market - buy the morning catch straight off the boats.

Practical

Coordinate approx: harbour basin next to the dive centre mapped at 'Port de Baillargent' (OSM node 3191565653) and the Anse de Baille-Argent bay (node 4800778271). French Wikipedia: the fishing port with its fish market is in the Baille-Argent section in the north of the commune. It is a small fishing harbour, not a yacht berth - visit by dinghy from Petite Anse or by road, and stay clear of the fishing boats' moorings. Market hours are early morning; arrive when the boats come in.

Best for

Fresh fish on the west coast
