SIERRA LEONE: Black market money! From golden beaches on the Freetown Penninsula to Bo // EPS 10

Why are there places on earth, you only hear negative things about? Like Sierra Leone - the only references to this country in the media are often about blood diamonds, civil wars and ebola. But Sierra Leone, that’s as well gentle waves at golden beaches with cristal clear water, friendly locals and a lush green jungle. Visit the most beautiful beaches of west africa with me and join the journey through Sierra Leone, the Freetown Penninsula and the city Bo.

After crossing the border from Guinea to Sierra Leone we were on a mission: to find the most beautiful beach of Sierra Leone. Little spoiler: there are a lot of beautfiul ones on the Freetown Penninsula, but our vote goes not to the famous River Number 2 Beach, but to Bureh Beach, where we stayed for a while. Sipping cocktails, eating lobster or go surfing - Bureh is a relaxed paradise far away from commercialisation or mass tourism.

After we recharged our batteries at the beautiful beaches of Sierra Leone, we were heading inlands to the city Bo. Watch this episode to find out why changing money or buying food and vegetables can be quite a challenge when being on the road!

Sierra Leone is a country in West Africa, on the Atlantic Ocean. It’s known for the white-sand beaches lining the Freetown Peninsula. The capital city, Freetown, commemorates the nation’s slave-trade history with the Cotton Tree landmark and King’s Yard Gate. Both were known as places of refuge for returned slaves in the 18th and 19th centuries. Nearby Bunce Island was a key departure point during the slave trade.
Freetown is a port city and the capital of Sierra Leone, in West Africa. It’s known for its beaches and historical role in the transatlantic slave trade. The old town’s centuries-old Cotton Tree is a symbol of emancipation. On the waterfront is the King’s Yard Gate, through which former slaves walked to freedom. The Sierra Leone National Museum includes exhibits relating to the 19th-century military leader Bai Bureh

River Number Two Beach in Freetown, Sierra Leone

River Number Two Beach in Freetown, Sierra Leone
Possibly Sierra Leone’s most beautiful beach, River Number Two is just 30 km south of Freetown. However, like most beaches on the Freetown Peninsula it’s totally unspoilt, and during the week, virtually deserted. Run by a cooperative set up following the civil war, all profits go straight back into the community.

Deck chairs let visitors sit and soak up the stunning backdrop of rolling green mountains, while freshly caught barracuda and prawns are grilled to order and cold drinks brought to your seat. It’s no wonder that the beach was chosen as the location for Bounty’s “Taste of Paradise” advert.

Our attention has been drawn to a nefarious activity going on at one of Sierra Leone’s finest beaches, Number 2 River beach near Freetown, the capital.

According to a Facebook posting by a representative of the River No.2 community, CSE (Compagnie Sahelienne d’Entreprises), a local construction company with Senegalese connections, has decided to cut expenses by constructing a new road (see photo) rather then repairing the old road going to Tokeh from River No.2.They are doing this using a cheap method pushing down dirt and rocks on to the river and separating the natural river from the ocean. Doing this will result in stagnant water and change in the water flow to the beach.

The Number 2 community consists of small-scale farmers, fishmongers and fishermen. It also depends heavily on income derived from services like preparing sea food and offering boat rides to tourists and local visitors to the beach.

FREETOWN, SIERRA LEONE ????????! ROAD TRIP TO FREETOWN PENINSULAR

#sierraleone #freetown #explore

Lumley Beach in Freetown, Sierra Leone

Freetown is the capital city of Sierra Leone and is the heart of the Western region. It is on a peninsula on the south bank of the estuary of the Sierra Leone River. The city lies at the foot of the peninsula mountains and faces one of the best natural harbours on the west coast of Africa. The peninsula is home to some of the finest beaches in Africa - Lumley beach, Lakka beach, No. 2 river beach and Tokeh beach are some examples.

The main public beach close to Freetown itself facing the Atlantic with white sandy beach, shops, restaurants, hotels, golf course, as well local clubs. Being closest to town, it is always busy and often quite dirty. Head further is you want to see some fantastic beaches.
This wide sweep of beach has lost some of its atmosphere since the 2015 demolition of dozens of bamboo and thatch food shacks, and the numerous, ugly construction projects lining the beach road don't add to its appeal. During the week it feels deserted, save for a few joggers pounding the paved beach walkway, but it comes into its own on weekends and public holidays, when Freetown's residents come out to relax and party on the golden sands.

Walking along Lumley beach is a busy affair, especially in the evening. Young boys play football, young men go fishing and families relax in the humid weather.

People in Salone try everything they can to earn a living. For people who cannot afford to set up their own stores, they walk around with buckets on their head selling everything from drinks, tissues to nuts.

Freetown, the capital city of Sierra Leone, currently houses far more people than it is equipped to deal with. While living near a city has its advantages, it also has some negatives.

You have so many people vying for such few jobs, houses and food. Despite that, or perhaps because of that, people flock to Freetown and look to the town with awe.

“Living in Freetown is hard but it is great,” “Civilisation is so different here. Even if there aren’t enough jobs or money, there are so many people.”

“You start to make your own family with the people of Freetown who are experiencing the same struggles you are.”

A HIDDEN PARADISE AT THE FREETOWN PENINSULA, YANKAI VILLAGE, FREETOWN, SIERRA LEONE

The Freetown Peninsula probably offering the greatest potential in the tourism industry, the beaches along the Freetown Peninsula are a sight to behold.


Beautiful and breathtaking, on a clear day they offer a clear representation of colours of the Sierra Leone flag. The green backdrop of mountains, coupled with the white sand at Number Two beach and clear blue water brings really does offer a ‘taste of paradise’. As tourism is still a developing industry in Sierra Leone, the beaches are not overwhelmed with visitors which means that most are still in pristine condition and on a weekday you could have an amazing beach entirely to yourself.
Big Water, Yankai Village can also be found around the peninsula.
