Getting there

Car

To reach Bureh Beach by car from Port Loko, start by heading south on the main road. Follow the road for approximately 30 kilometers.

Once you arrive at the beach area, you may need to pay a small entrance fee, typically around 5,000 Leones (approximately $0.50). Parking is available near the beach.

Public Transportation

From Port Loko, you can take a public minibus (commonly known as a 'poda poda') heading towards Freetown. Inform the driver that you want to get off at Bureh Beach. The journey will cost about 10,000 Leones (approximately $1). The bus will drop you off near the entrance to the beach. From there, you may need to walk a short distance to reach the beach itself. Be sure to check the bus schedule ahead of time as they may not run frequently.

Motorbike Taxi

If you prefer a quicker option, consider hiring a motorbike taxi (locally known as an 'okada') from Port Loko to Bureh Beach.
