Beaches in the area include the Plage du Phare, which lies just to the northeast of the village, and Plage de Sakouli, just to the southwest.[1]
Economy and utilities
Hamouro has a small covered market, which lies along the main road (the N3 road) in the village.[1]
The commune of Bandrélé has been actively working towards improving housing, sanitation, local commerce and the safety of local roads in the area since 2014.[2] The French National Institute of statistics and economic studies described Hamouro as a village with "very disadvantaged living conditions". In May 2018, working in conjuction with GRET and Gescod, they set about improving sanitation in the area.[3]
In mid August 2023, 81 illegally constructed corrugated iron shacks in the village were bulldozed to the ground on the first day of a new operation in Hamouro to improve local conditions.[4]
