Sanyang Village and Beach

The Wolof, Mandinka, Fula, and Jola tribes make up the majority of the population of this tranquil coastal community of roughly 7,000 people. Sanyang Village and Beach, which consists of Paradise, Osprey, and Pelican beaches, is often regarded as The Gambia's nicest beachfront.

It boasts a long stretch of secluded shore, surrounded by mangroves and lagoons, and was a popular destination long before the tourist route found its way there. For those who wish to get away from the throng, this is the place to go. The village's major source of income is fishing, and as a result, there is a magnificent fish market.

Sanyang Village and Beach is a great place to people watch and meet the locals. As an added benefit, there are several shady walks for wildlife excursions in the region.

Many believe it to be one of The Gambia's nicest beachfronts, and it appears to have survived much of the previous coastal erosion. The seashore is at its most desolate and barren south of the fish center, surrounded by interior lagoons rimmed by mangroves.
