Local know-how to help you travel smarter and make the most of every moment.
Car
From Port Loko District, start by heading south on the main road towards Freetown. The journey will take approximately 2-3 hours depending on traffic. Keep an eye out for road signs directing you towards Freetown. Once you reach Freetown, follow signs to the Aberdeen area. As you approach Aberdeen, look for the coordinates FPX3+C94 in your GPS or use a mapping application. The lighthouse is located at the end of the road, near the coast.
Public Transportation (Bus)
Take a bus from Port Loko to Freetown. Buses leave frequently from the main bus station. After arriving in Freetown, you can either take a taxi or a local ' poda poda' (shared minibus) towards Aberdeen. Make sure to confirm with the driver that they are heading in the direction of Aberdeen. Once in Aberdeen, ask for directions to the lighthouse or use your GPS to navigate to FPX3+C94.
Taxi
For a more direct route, consider hiring a taxi from Port Loko directly to the Aberdeen Lighthouse. This will be the most convenient but also the most expensive option. Be sure to negotiate the fare before starting the journey. The taxi will take you directly to the lighthouse area, where you will find it located at FPX3+C94.
