SEREKUNDA & THE ATLANTIC COAST
POP 326,000
Chaotic, splitting-at-the-seams Serekunda is the nation's largest urban centre, and appears
to consist of one big, bustling market. The nearby Atlantic Coast resorts of Bakau, Fajara,
Kotu Strand and Kololi are where the sun 'n' sea tourists flock. If you can manage to dodge
the persistent ganja peddlers and bumsters (touts), this is a great place to spend long days
on the beach and late nights on the dance floor.
