Sierra Leone is a country with a lot to offer to tourists, but it remains an undiscovered gem compared to many other African countries. The country has a rich cultural heritage and beautiful landscapes, with pristine beaches, lush rainforests, and stunning mountain ranges.
One of the main draws for tourists is Sierra Leone’s beaches, which are some of the most beautiful in West Africa. Sierra Leone reportedly has the 2nd finest beach in the whole continent of Africa which is the reason for the name of the beach being Number 2 River Beach.
The country’s coastline stretches for over 500 km and is dotted with picturesque fishing villages, secluded coves, and sandy beaches. Some other popular beach destinations include Lumley Beach and Tokeh Beach near Freetown, and the Turtle Islands off the coast.
