Beach of the month: Brufut Heights Beach

My Magazine 2022/05
7 min
What is your favourite type of beach? Full and crowded, lonely and private or somewhere in between? This month, we explored Brufut Heights Beach, and we love it. Why? Read more.

We all know Gambian beaches are a bit atypical when it comes to the images of the vast areas of sunbathing fields full of resorts, beach bars and sunbeds. Mainly, those parts of the beach belong to more prominent beach resorts and bring a lot of attention from the fruit vendors, souvenir sellers, and other bypassers.

One of the beaches, not too far away from the tourist concentrated area, still offering enough places to rent a sunbed and enjoy your cold drink while not being disrupted through your relaxing beach time is Brufut Heights Beach.

Although it is hardly accessible in some parts, since the cliff, which marks the height of the so-named area, it is one of the cleanest beaches, offering a whole strip of small and cute beach bars where your drink will be served with a smile on the face. Plenty of palm trees and magnificent baobabs decorate the place giving it extra value with its guarantee of shaded spots.

Maybe the peacefulness of the area was a bit exaggerated since we visited the beach just a few days before the end of Ramadan; nevertheless, we still enjoyed our walk on the beach while meeting the friendly staff of the hospitality points on the beach.
