Plage de Roume

Plage de Roume is a sandy beach along the western coast of Rouma Island, featuring white sand and clear Atlantic waters. This shore provides natural conditions for swimming and relaxation in an island setting.

The beach area contains traces of French colonial presence, including structures from the period when Guinea was part of French West Africa. These remnants show the long European influence on the island.

Local residents gather at this beach for traditional ceremonies and community celebrations, maintaining their connection to maritime traditions and coastal living. These practices give the shore deep social meaning beyond its role as a recreation spot.

The beach is accessible by motorized canoe or pleasure boat from Conakry, with a journey of about 30 minutes. Visitors should check boat availability and weather conditions beforehand, as travel to the island depends on local circumstances.

The shore divides into three distinct sections: Guiakhambi, Governor's, and Pokia, each with its own coastal characteristics and water conditions. This variety makes each visit different depending on which section visitors explore.
