South of Banjul lie the resorts of Kotu and Kololi. Whilst tourism is taking off in these areas, it remains fairly low-key, giving you a unique opportunity for a relaxing beach holiday while still discovering the Gambian way of life. One of the best features of this coast is the soft white sand - perfect for lazy days and relaxation in the sun, or for leisurely walks. Kotu comprises a selection of hotels strung along the beach with a sprinkling of shops and market stalls. An 18-hole golf course is also available at a small fee and clubs, balls and caddies are available for hire. Kololi is more developed offering a hotel-based holiday resort, with plenty of bars, a casino and several, reasonably priced international restaurants.
