Bijilo Beach

Bijilo, a tourist resort in Kololi, is located on Gambia's southern border and can be accessed on foot after a 45-minute walk. Continue on to uncover even more remote areas and little motels to stay in. The beaches become more pure and gorgeous as you travel further out.

Except for the parts facing the hotels, the beaches in the vicinity are still rather calm. There are a few taverns and eateries in between the various hotels. The beaches are golden, wide, and clean, making them ideal for sunbathing and swimming when the sea is calmer. Velvet monkeys are also widespread in the neighborhood, and they occasionally visit bars for tidbits of food. Serer fisherman occasionally use their pirogues to land their catches on the beach. The section along the major Kombo Coastal Road, which runs parallel to the Atlantic strip, is brightly illuminated, and there is decent foot access to the beach.

There are a few local fruit vendors and a beach bar, but there isn't much else. As a result, it caters mainly to those wishing to get away from the city's hustle and bustle. In Bijilo Beach, grab a coconut and relax; no one will bother you!
