Lighthouse · Hidden Gem · Tourist Spot

See Le Phare De Kribi, a century-old structure that's still in use for ships today. Built in 1906, it was constructed to help ships used for the trade of ivory and rubber navigate the area. You can climb to the top of the 15 m (49 ft) tall lighthouse, although the building is closed to tourists. Three white lights on the top flash every 12 seconds and can be seen for 14 nautical miles.
