Sanyang Beach, Public beach in West Coast Division, Gambia
The 4.8-kilometer curved coastline of Sanyang Beach includes three connected sections: Pelican Beach, Osprey Beach, and Paradise Beach, with white sand meeting Atlantic waters.
The beach area near Sanyang Village, established in 1918 by the Mandinka Bojang family, developed into a significant coastal settlement for fishing and farming communities.
The Sanyang International Cultural Festival in January brings together local musicians, dancers, and food vendors while supporting educational programs in the village.
Visitors can reach the beach via public transport from Brusubi Turn Table to Tanji, followed by a local taxi ride to the main beach area.
The Rainbow Beach Resort hosts traditional Gambian wrestling tournaments every Sunday, drawing spectators to watch matches on the sand near the water.
