River No.2 Beach, near Freetown, Sierra Leone, gained recognition in the 1980s as the filming location for a Bounty Bar commercial. Situated by the estuary of River No.2, the beach is framed by palms and mangroves, with the river splitting it into two sections connected by local boat crossings. A shallow lagoon on the southern side offers a calm swimming spot. Entry costs Le 5000 for foreigners, with a restaurant and guesthouse available. Located 25 km south of Freetown, it is accessible by taxi, private car, or minibus, and can also be reached via a 20-minute walk from Tokeh Beach.

Nice beach - but only worth a day visit - no need to stay out here

Within easy reaching distance from Freetown, this beach gets very busy. It's understandable as it's beautiful - the white, soft sand, the gentle slope into the sea. Tokeh (just across the estuary) is much quieter if you want some peace (when tide is out you can wade across) but there's a little shuttle / row boat in operation for a small fee. River No 2 Beach is loud with loud music and obnoxious people often. A few restaurants, all selling same same, some with sun loungers most with tables and umbrellas. 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.

This is still one of the best beaches on the Peninsula👍🏼. A very good place to relax with nature🙇🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️. Sand is mostly white❤️. The beach also has a shallow lake with transparent water❤️. This is great for kids or people with a fear of the ocean🤽‍♀️🤽🏾. If you prefer surfing🏄🏽‍♀️, the ocean is there. For social people, the beach is buzzing on weekends. For people that love quiet, come on weekdays or weekends before 4pm. It's true, you will have to pay for a shaded table. You could bring in your own food and drinks too.

Came here on a Sunday, really beautiful place to chill. There was a wind which was actually nice too so it wasn't too hot. We sat on the beach chairs you can rent for 10,000 per chair, with which you'll get a table and umbrella for the group. The food was also good - fish and rice, or chicken and chips, or a combination of them was 7,000, it was tasty, and came with salad too. The beach is truly stunning and is well looked after too.
