    One of my faves. It's like a nice mix of energies of River Number 2 Beach, meets Tokeh Beach. Stay at Lumthubul - great breakfasts and lovely staff. Such beautiful sunsets from here! And the beach is really, really long. Shame the government's sand mining is causing such harm. Sand is yellow but still nice and soft. A few waves attract a few surfers. Accommodation here is basic but beautiful setting. Excellent seafood everywhere. Like any of Sierra Leone's beaches, depending on what time of year you go will depend on how much litter you will find - including medical waste and glass so be careful.

    Bureh is a lovely getaway about an hour’s drive outside of Freetown. They have multiple accommodation options ranging from tent setups to 100,000 Le rooms without running water to 300,000 Le rooms with a full setup. Lots of surfing and lounging to be done with green/blue ocean views. I ate the biggest shrimp I’ve ever eaten there. And it was delightful.

    Beautiful, quiet beach. Good for surfing. A few beach bars serving usual sea food. Sea can be quite rough.
