Lumley Beach
A city beach stretching several kilometers west of central Freetown, lined with bars and restaurants. It is popular in the evenings for football, jogging and watching the sunset.
Lumley Beach lies in the Aberdeen-Lumley area and is the most convenient beach in the capital. A promenade, seafood restaurants and nightlife bars line Lumley Beach Road. On weekend evenings, young locals play beach football and gather, making for a lively atmosphere. It is 20 to 30 minutes by car from the city center, and most of the city's major hotels are concentrated nearby. Water quality near the city is only average, so for swimming, the beaches on the southern part of the peninsula are more recommended. Keep an eye on your belongings at night.
