Plage de Roume, Beach on Rouma Island, Guinea

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 island's name and the Governor's beach refer to the French governor-general of French West Africa, the colonial federation that included Guinea. The sources record no colonial buildings on the beach itself; the name is the historical trace.

The island's three beaches carry names that record local and colonial history: Guiakhambi means "beach behind the mountain" in French, Governor's beach is named after the former governor-general of French West Africa, and Pokia, on the north face, is said to have inspired the spot where the Hispaniola runs aground in Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island.

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 island's three beaches each face a different way: Guiakhambi on the south side, whose name means "beach behind the mountain", Governor's beach, named after the former governor-general of French West Africa, and Pokia on the north side, which is said to have inspired the spot where the Hispaniola runs aground in Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island.
