It is made up of four different zones: a mountainous Area, hills, plains and lagoons separated from the sea by sandbanks. It has 126 km of beaches.
The mountains, covering more than half the total surface of the province, are along the west and southwest border of the province, their height varying from 500 to 1480 metres. The hills are lower, between 20 to 200 metres, with some points at 400 metres, and occupy a third of the Area of the province, between the mountains and the plains. The plains account for about a tenth of the surface Area, with a height of only up to 20 metres above sea level. Lagoons, 22,000ha large, occupy the remaining 5 per cent of the surface Area of the province.
