Banjul Beach

A holiday in Banjul is a taste of real African life. Banjul is situated on an island, is the capital of the Gambia and is one of the smallest capitals in Africa. The city was founded by the British Forces and formally known as Bathurst from its beginnings in the 19th century, until independence in 1965. There is a strong sense of the colonial past in the many buildings that are around the capital. Holidays in Banjul are based on the sandy beach which is home to a handful of hotels.

Banjul holidays are great for shoppers, there is a market that sells local goods and crafts and you can spend many an hour visiting the numerous stalls and haggling for a bargain. Banjul hotels tend to be situated on the seafront, and although the town is busy the beaches in Banjul tend to be a lot quieter and laid back. For this reason, holidays in Banjul are perfect for a relaxing beach break.
