Tabou

Tabou lies on the Atlantic coast of the forested country between the Cavally and San Pedro rivers. Kru-speaking communities occupy this shore, where fishing and canoeing have long connected coastal villages with visiting ships. The surf makes landing difficult, and the skill of local boatmen became valued along the West African coast. Behind the shore, rivers and dense forest extend inland from the Gulf of Guinea.

The later city of Harper lies here.
