•  To the north of Kololi the beaches get better and, as a result, the stretch between Kotu and Fajara appears busier. There are plenty of bars at the Kotu end of the beach who offer the use of free sun loungers to their patrons. You can also rent surf boards and windsurfers from here. If you want to swim, again check with the lifeguards who have a post on the beach (in front of Kombo Beach Hotel) or look for their flags before going in.

•  Between Leybato Bar (where you can take the opportunity to relax in a hammock) and Bakau, the beach gives way to small cliffs, and again hotels have built artificial beach platforms, albeit somewhat smaller and less obtrusive to the environment than those previously built at Kololi.

• At Cape Point the beach sweeps round in a bay until it meets the creek from Denton Bridge. There are one or two smaller bars (some with sun loungers) along the beach, which is always much quieter than some of the other beaches. The water here is also much shallower and safer for paddling, although it does seem a little cooler when you first wade in.

•  From Oyster Creek (Denton Bridge) north towards Banjul and the Palm Grove Hotel, further land reclamation work is now complete protecting the main road in to Banjul from erosion, resulting in ever expanding beach.

•  Of course, you might not fancy lying on a beach all day, so why not try your hand at beach fishing? For more information on our beach fishing trips, please see Gambia Fishing Trips or Contact Us.
