Brufut Beach, Beach and settlement in West Coast Division, Gambia
The long stretch of golden sand at Brufut Beach extends from Joseph Pelican Beach Bar to the fishing center of Ghana Town.
The settlement originated as a Mandinka farming community before expanding westward to include Brufut Heights resort and Brufut Gardens residential areas.
The beach features traditional African pirogues on the sand where local fishermen repair their nets and prepare for maritime activities.
Access to the beach requires navigation down rust-colored cliffs through steep paths, with some beach bars offering parking spaces on the hilltop.
The Sanneh-Mentering pilgrimage site, marked by a large baobab tree and simple hut, attracts Muslims seeking blessings near Coral Beach.
