Bakau Beaches Gambia

by Dave Jackson

Bakau is mainly a working beach as you will see by the fishing boats called pirogues and the jetty that is used to haul in the catch. They mostly catch a fish called bonga here and most of it is taken to the smokehouses located on the shore. Bakau is useful, simple, transforming and persuasive. Tucked away on a low cliff between the mouth of the River Gambia and the Atlantic Ocean, Bakau is a small, densely populated coastal town with a good scattering of pleasant hotels. Its western and eastern enclaves, Fajara and Cape Point, are well-to-do havens for diplomats, professionals and expats, while central Bakau (home to fishermen, cooks and musicians) is a maze of crowded compounds where chickens and children scurry to and fro under the mango and pawpaw trees.
