Top Beaches in Gambia

You might want to check out local transportation options before you arrive. There's a lot of info about shared taxis, but they can be tricky to find, so I recommend downloading a map app.

I suggest bringing some snacks or a packed lunch. The beach shacks can be pricey for food, and it’s nice to munch on something while soaking up the sun.

If you're into surfing, I think just renting a board instead of booking classes is best. I tried a class and it was more expensive than just popping on a board for a bit of fun!

I recommend bringing a picnic! The local food options are great, but can get pricey. I packed some snacks and had a lovely lunch right on the beach. Save some cash and enjoy the view!

My advice is to visit in the late afternoon around 4 PM. The sun is a lot softer then and the beach isn't as crowded. I got some stunning photos without tons of people in the background!
