Gunjur Beach & Fishing Centre
Gunjur
A wild, uncrowded stretch of beach on the southern coast, with a colourful pirogue fishing harbour and eco-lodges, far quieter than the northern resorts.
Gunjur lies on the Kombo South coast. The beach is wide and quiet, lined with palm groves and a few eco-lodges. At the southern end, the fishing centre sees boats surf ashore every afternoon, and women sort and smoke the catch on the sand in a scene that rivals Tanji. Nearby, the Bolong Fenyo community reserve has lagoons and mangroves that are good for birdwatching. Gunjur is about 35 km from Serekunda, roughly 50 minutes by taxi, and can be combined with Sanyang Beach and Kartong on the same southbound day trip. Waves can be strong, so take care when swimming.
