Located in the western part of the West African country of Gambia, bordering the Atlantic Ocean, Esau is an important town near the mouth of the Gambia River. As a historical node in the colonial period, it was once a trading hub for Portuguese and British merchants, and there are remains of 18th-century buildings that bear witness to the history of trade along the West African coast. The local economy is based on agriculture and fishing, with peanuts and millet grown on the fertile riverbanks, while the Atlantic fishing industry provides an important livelihood for the inhabitants. The Gambia River meets the sea here, creating a unique river and sea landscape that attracts nature and history lovers, and is one of the windows to traditional Gambian life.
