Admittedly, Gambia has one of the smallest Atlantic coastlines for all mainland African nations. This geographical fact does not deter the small country, however, in offering its local and foreign tourists the golden opportunities to enjoy love and laughter in the sun sand and sea during their Gambia holidays.
Beaches in the Gambia

As small as the Atlantic coastline is, Gambia maintains the peaceful and pristine conditions of its beaches. Even with the beach resorts sprouting like mushrooms, there is a sense of oneness with nature coupled with a sense of adventure in every stretch of sand in Gambia.
Take the Leybato, for instance. In the local dialect, it means “by the seashore” and it definitely lives up to its name and more! It is a favorite place to spread love and laughter for expatriates and Peace Corps volunteers amongst themselves and the locals. Don’t get any ideas in your head about the kind of Gambia holidays tourists enjoy here though as it is the kind of love and laughter that is definitely family-friendly. (more…)
