Continue straight until you reach the junction at the entrance of the Peninsula, where you'll need to pay a small toll fee (approximately 5000 Leones). After passing the toll booth, follow the signs for the Peninsula Road, which will lead you towards the coastline. Drive along the scenic route, keeping the ocean on your left. As you approach the Cape Sierra Leone area, look for signs indicating the direction to Cape Sierra Leone, which is located at latitude 8.4986111 and longitude -13.2972222. You might need to navigate through a few local roads, so use a GPS or maps application for the most accurate directions.

From Freetown, head to the main bus station and look for shared taxis or buses heading towards the Peninsula. Inform the driver that your destination is Cape Sierra Leone. The fare will vary but expect to pay around 10,000-15,000 Leones. The journey may take around 1-2 hours depending on traffic.
