The peninsula is located to the south of the city center. Make sure to have a GPS or a map app ready to help you navigate through the streets of Freetown to the peninsula.

The journey may take about 3-4 hours. Once in Freetown, you'll need to take another shared taxi heading towards the peninsula.
