For those looking to Relax
Sierra Leone has an amazing collection of sandy palm-lined beaches along the Peninsula, like the famous No.2 Beach which is considered most people's favourite. The Beaches are as Idyllic as it gets, but you will hardly find them crowded except for Weekends. Grab a drink, relax and don't miss the Sunset.
For the Adventurer

For the more adventurous, head out to Bureh Beach for Surfing. it's home to the only Surf Club in Sierra Leone. Beginners can take lessons, and if you want to make a Weekend of it, there are Tents or simple rooms for rent.
