Plage de Kassa, Beach on Kassa Island, Guinea
Plage de Kassa is a sandy beach on the western coast of Kassa Island with palm trees and natural rock formations facing the Atlantic Ocean. The shoreline features a gentle slope into calm waters with clear views across the ocean horizon.
The beach sits near the remains of an industrial facility established in 1952 that was one of Guinea's early economic ventures. This site shaped the economic path of the island and surrounding region.
The beach serves as a gathering space where locals celebrate music and cultural events throughout the year. People come together here to mark important occasions and share moments with family and friends.
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.
The beach remains free and uncommercial with no shops or built structures on the sand, making it one of the few places in the region where nature has stayed unchanged. This preservation happens naturally without formal protection, allowing the environment to exist as it has for years.
