The Sassandra flows south-southeast to empty into the Gulf of Guinea on the Atlantic Ocean.

The Davo River joins the Sassandra just before it meets the sea.

The port town of Sassandra lies on the seacoast where the river meets the sea.

The northern, or upper, part of the watershed lies in the Guinean forest-savanna mosaic ecoregion.
