Plage de Kassa, Beach on Kassa Island, Guinea

Plage de Kassa is a sand beach on Kassa Island, the island closest to Conakry, reached by boat from the mainland ports. The sand runs along the island's shore facing the Atlantic, with the water crossing taking about 15 minutes by taxi boat, pirogue or pleasure boat.

The sources document no industrial facility or 1952 venture on Kassa Island; the beach's recorded history concerns its use for national holidays and the annual 11 May commemoration of Bob Marley's death, alongside family outings and excursions by Guinean tourists, pupils and students.

To reach the beach, visitors must take water taxis or traditional boats from ports in Conakry, a journey of about 15 minutes. It is best to plan your visit during good weather and calm conditions when crossing the water is more comfortable.
