Littoral Postal Codes, Cameroon
There is no official postal code or zip code for Littoral, as the Cameroon postal service does not use codes for sorting or "door-to-door" delivery. The system relies almost exclusively on P.O. Boxes (French: Boîte Postale or BP). If an online form requires a mandatory code, 00000 (five zeros) can be used as a placeholder, but this is not an official code. For successful delivery, a valid P.O. Box (BP) number is essential. A sample P.O. Box address is: [Recipient Name], BP [XXXX], Littoral, Cameroon.

Key Facts
Littoral is a region of Cameroon located along the country's Atlantic coastline in the southwestern part of the nation. As one of Cameroon's ten administrative regions, Littoral serves as a crucial economic and transportation hub, with its strategic position along the Gulf of Guinea making it vital for international trade and maritime activities. The region covers approximately 20,248 square kilometers and has a population of around 3.5 million people, making it one of Cameroon's most densely populated areas. Littoral is divided into four departments: Moungo, Nkam, Sanaga-Maritime, and Wouri, with the vibrant port city of Douala serving as both the regional capital and Cameroon's economic capital. This region features diverse geography ranging from coastal plains to forested areas and is traversed by several important rivers including the Wouri, Sanaga, and Dibamba. Littoral's tropical climate supports significant agricultural production, particularly of bananas, palm oil, cocoa, and rubber, while its industrial sector includes food processing, textiles, and manufacturing. The region's extensive transportation infrastructure, including the Port of Douala, international airports, and major highways, connects it to both domestic and international markets.
