Limbe

Coastal town in the Southwest province of Cameroon, 50 km/31 mi west of Douala; population (1987) 44,600. Lying on Ambas Bay of the Gulf of Guinea and near Mount Cameroon, it is the second largest port in the country, after Douala, exporting from surrounding plantations palm oil and kernels, coffee, cocoa, tea, bananas, and rubber. It is also the site of the Sonara oil refinery.

Limbe was founded in 1858 by Baptist missionaries and was formerly the capital of British Cameroon.
