Lakka Beach- Travel Tips What to See, How to Plan & Tours: Natural Scenery; Sierra Leone; 5 Reviews

Suggested Duration: 3 hours

Lakka Beach, located south of Freetown, is a 1.5 km stretch of golden sand backed by forested hills and coconut palms. Close to the fishing village of Lakka, it offers a glimpse into local coastal life, with fishermen preparing their catch, children playing football, and traditional wooden canoes dotting the shore. The waters are generally calm in some areas, making swimming possible, while a small island at the northern end can be reached on foot during low tide. The beach has a relaxed atmosphere with fewer crowds than Lumley and features beachfront restaurants serving fresh seafood, including grilled lobster. Fishing enthusiasts can visit a nearby resort known for deep-sea fishing opportunities.

The closest real / sizeable sandy beach outside of Freetown. Whilst some of the others are more beautiful (River #2), prestine (Bureh) and tranquil (Tokeh), Lakka with its yellow sand feels much more real, with a sense of community. Lots of restaurants, some with sun loungers. Excellent seafood. Like any of Sierra Leone's beaches (outside of Freetown), 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.
