The main public beach and rubbish dump close to Freetown itself facing the Atlantic with shops, restaurants, hotels, golf course, as well as local clubs. The beach is popular for football, running and is normally crowded on holidays and the weekend. A paved pathway now runs the length of the beach, popular for walking and jogging, especially when the tide is in. Avoid the Aberdeen end which is covered with rubbish. It is better near the golf club.
