Getting there

Car

If you are traveling by car from Lungi Beach to Bureh Beach, start by heading south towards the Lungi International Airport roundabout. Continue past the airport and take the exit towards the Lungi-Tokeh Road (also known as the Bureh Road). Follow this road for approximately 20 kilometers, enjoying the scenic views along the way. As you approach Tokeh, keep an eye out for signs indicating Bureh Beach. You will likely need to pay a small fee for entrance or parking upon arrival at the beach.

Public Transportation (Taxi)

For those using public transportation, find a taxi at one of the local taxi stands in Lungi Beach. Inform the driver that you are heading to Bureh Beach. The fare should be negotiated beforehand; expect to pay around 200,000 to 300,000 SLL depending on your bargaining skills and the driver. The journey may take around 30-40 minutes. Note that taxis may drop you off at a nearby spot, and you might need to walk a short distance to reach the beach itself.
