The ouidah marina, A window on the ocean and memory
Located on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, close to the Porte du Non-Retour, the Marina de Ouidah is an emblematic space combining nature, culture, history and modernity. This fast-developing site is an integral part of a vast project to rehabilitate the historical and tourist heritage of Ouidah, a city steeped in history and at the heart of African memory.
The Marina stands at the end of the Slave Route, the 4-kilometer route taken by thousands of enslaved Africans from the city to the coast. It is thus a symbolic and strategic place, where past and future meet.
Conceived as a tourist attraction and heritage enhancement center, the Ouidah Marina includes or is planning several developments:
- Seaside facilities (equipped beaches, restaurants, accommodation)
- Cultural and memorial facilities linked to the history of the slave trade
- Spaces for relaxation and leisure open onto the ocean
- An ideal setting for cultural, artistic and ceremonial events
