    Best beach in west Africa. Clear Blue waters, white sand, amazing ocean views, sublime confluence of The River and the Atlantic ocean framed by the lush green backdrop of the Freetown Peninsula Mountain range and shaded by the blue and white cloud cover. This is indeed Paradise on earth. Let's help preserve this gem by keeping it free from rubbish and overdevelopment.

    Came here on a Sunday, really beautiful place to chill. There was a wind which was actually nice too so it wasn't too hot. We sat on the beach chairs you can rent for 10,000 per chair, with which you'll get a table and umbrella for the group. The food was also good - fish and rice, or chicken and chips, or a combination of them was 7,000, it was tasty, and came with salad too. The beach is truly stunning and is well looked after too.

    You're basically coming for the beach. The accommodation facility is very basic, but the staff are usually friendly and helpful. As well as u can plan for office outing and beach fista with born fire and dj with white stand . There are 12 double rooms that view the ocean. The rooms remain very basic with no luxuries but the sound of the waves and the tropical birds. They are ever more charming as everything is clearly handmade. The rooms are equipped with a mosquito net, bucket shower and a fan. Included in the price is breakfast: toast with jam and eggs, coffee and tea. If ordered the evening in advance, the chefs are happy to slice up a fresh platter of fruit. Towels are not provided, as happens at most smaller guesthouses in Sierra Leone.

    Beautiful + lots of trees & local ownership. The beach is run by a local community, which takes great pride + funds get used locally. No foreign overlords for the staff + lots of local pride. Its also the closest area to Freetown with LOTS of trees, both by the beach and on the hills nearby. + view of islands A few cultural barriers to overcome - a few messy areas - and the cooking is simple. But its all worth it. Great for a day trip - 1U$D entrance fee - and cabins are said to be U$D35 a night (including breakfast).

    Excellent beach for a day outing. Have visited there twice. The white sandy beach is absolutely beautiful and the area is kept very clean. The distant islands make for some amazing pictures. It's fun to walk down to where the fresh water river pours into the ocean. One warning about the river is to watch out for crocodiles, just stay near the ocean and you won't have to worry. The area has some small vendor shops and is a great place to pick up some souvenirs. The restaurant at the beach serves amazing chicken and lobster and of course orange Fanta!

    Number 2 Beach tourism is a Great place to be for anyone who wishes to unwind. I have been hearing so much about Number 2 Beach in Freetown Sierra Leone which I was very lucky to visit last weekend. I enjoyed every moment I spent there. The beach is so serene and the blue water provides the splendor of nature soothing to any soul. I highly recommend this beach for visits.

    One of the best beaches in Salone. It is clean, well maintained and exactly if not more beautiful as in guidebooks. This is perfect place for a day at the beach or just as a lunch stop. I loved every minute here and the sand is really soooft.

    River No 2 Beach is one of the best relaxation point in Sierra Leone, white sand, blue sea, fresh sea food and a very friendly surrounding.

    (Translated by Google) We arrived at Africana Toke Village by sailboat from Freetown and we discovered river number 2 just a few months before the start of the war that ravaged this beautiful country. We were really lucky to know this heavenly place (Original) Nous sommes arrivés à l'Africana Toke Village en voilier depuis Freetown et nous avons découvert la riviere number 2 à peine quelques mois avant la le debut de la guerre qui a ravagé ce pays si magnifique . Nous avons eu vraiment beaucoup de chances de connaitre cet endroit paradisiaque

    Around 30kms away from Freetown, River Number Two beach is a must visit place for everyone travelling to Sierra Leone and more so if you are travelling to Freetown. It is a serene white sand beach which also has few options to have a stay. Very less crowded. White sand and sea green/ocean bluish water makes it one of the most beautiful beach of Sierra Leone. Roads leading to the beach from Freetown are well constructed until half way. The later half do not have well constructed roads. Must visit and highly recommended place to visit. They do charge a small entry fee to visit the beach but more than worth it.

    On we afternoon this place is owerload and noisy by music. To go to a quite place you need to cross the river Le5000. The food is good. You need to pay for chairs and table on the beach 10.000 by chaire. The price on local market is highier then in Freetown

    A community managed beach with bright white sand. About 20 kms from Freetown city. Accessible only with private transportation. Entry fees Leones 5000 or about 75 Cents. Drinks and food available from the local vendors. Tables and umbrellas available at about USD 5.

    My favorite beach in Sierra Leone. Not as crowded as Lumley beach on most days. Always clean and the community have a good security culture. I feel safer here than at any other beach in Sierra Leone. It now gets busier on holidays but pretty much with the right kind of crowd. For me the only downside is the few meters of dusty road to get to the beach. Hopefully that wouldn't be a problem after the road is completed.

    Had an enjoyable time at the Number 2 beach during the 2016 Christmas break. The sand is white with a clean water. The most amazing is the Number 2 river that flows into the Atlantic ocean at this beach. Flock of birds are seen always flying the coaster area.

    It was an amazing moment on the beach. Meet some new male friends and didn’t buy any drink. Had enough to drink and saw some amazing peaceful and happy people. The feature of the beach brought out the life in me.

  • 5/5 francesc g. 1 year ago on Google
    Love this beach. Price of entry, nothing too high, very popular with foreigners and locals. They have tables to rent and umbrellas included. There is also a bar/restaurant, depending on season they have fantastic seafood. Maybe the best beach of the world. On the back of the restaurant there is a local market, there are wood carvings, bags, trousers, shirts t-shirts. The majority of the clothing places make clothing up to measure on the spot in an hour they make shirts or trousers or any garment they could make. Talk the price in advance, before hand that's a wise idea and advice. There are toilets in the beach. The places is maybe one of the best beaches I have seen in Sierra Leone, during the week is empty, during the weekend is full of live.

    Beautiful golden sandy beach, mainly frequented by the young locals, music and dancing on the beach with food and drinks.

  • 5/5 Mat L. 11 months ago on Google
    This is still one of the best beaches on the Peninsula👍🏼. A very good place to relax with nature🙇🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️. Sand is mostly white❤️. The beach also has a shallow lake with transparent water❤️. This is great for kids or people with a fear of the ocean🤽‍♀️🤽🏾. If you prefer surfing🏄🏽‍♀️, the ocean is there. For social people, the beach is buzzing on weekends. For people that love quiet, come on weekdays or weekends before 4pm. It's true, you will have to pay for a shaded table. You could bring in your own food and drinks too.

    Perfect place for relaxation! I highly recomand it for turist and locals. Very nice sand, clean water and good place. Be a little carefull for the workers here because they ask money for almpust everything.

  • 5/5 Caleb G. 6 years ago on Google
    Gotta love a white sand West African beach. Very warm water, no strong currents, hard along the beach, local shopping, great vibe, always a soccer game going on, fantastic scenery with untouched mountainous jungles in the background. Nice little getaway of you're in Freetown.

    Great beach, beautiful sand, very clean, busy on a Sunday, very organised with hire of umbrellas', beach tables and sunloungers. Table service to your beach spot by friendly staff, good value and great food.

    I was there in 2018 to 2019. This is one of the best beaches in the world.

  • 4/5 Marc 6 months ago on Google
    Wonderful beach! Nice scenery. Prices however are high here. For me it feels a bit strange to live in luxury at this amazing beach, zipping a beer and only 100 m away from there, poverty dominates everything.

  • 5/5 Ibrahima B. 4 years ago on Google
    Very beautiful but more needs to be done on the short distance going down the beach from the main peninsula highway. But added to that the place is much peaceful

  • 5/5 Kate A. 3 years ago on Google
    Gorgeous beach with friendly staff who will bring delicious fresh seafood directly to your table on the beach! Calm water and beautiful views, and relatively non-pushy craft vendors.

    With it white sand and Crystal clear water, it is one of the best beach in the world. Located along the Peninsula Highway , it is about an hour drive from the City Centre on a busy day. It can be found in a serene environment with friendly residents near by. Popular spot amongst tourist and it is the poster beach for Sierra Leone Tourism.
