Gambia Holidays

Gambia: Introduction

The Gambia's palm-fringed coastline is utopia for sun-worshippers, with silky white sands brushed by the refreshing waters and gentle breezes of the Atlantic. The main resorts of Banjul, Kotu, Kololi and Cape Point all boast idyllic, uncrowded beaches dotted with straw-thatched parasols, shanty bars and occasionally, brightly coloured fishing boats. At Cape Point especially, you'll find plentiful watersports like canoes, jetskis and windsurfing, and along all the beaches, swimming is generally safe, although it's essential to check the warning flag system. For those wanting to get out on the waves, there's the attraction of exciting boat and fishing excursions from some beaches.
