🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Serekunda Bus Station / Any main junction → Coco Ocean Resort & Spa
💡 These are shared minibuses that cram in as many people as possible. Good for a one-off local experience, but not luggage-friendly. Tell the driver 'Coco Ocean' or 'Kololi Beach' when boarding.
Serekunda Bus Station (also called 'Mundi' or 'Garage') → Banjul Bus Station (via coastal road past Kololi)
💡 The bus route runs along the main Atlantic Road, so ask for a stop near 'Brusubi Junction' for Coco Ocean. It's a 10-minute walk from there. Buses are basic and crowded; not recommended for first-timers without local guidance.
Banjul International Airport (BJL) → Coco Ocean Resort & Spa
💡 Pre-book with the hotel for a fixed rate and a driver holding your name. Avoid haggling at arrivals unless you're confident—taxis outside the terminal often start at 40 EUR.
Coco Ocean Resort & Spa lobby / Serekunda Market → Anywhere in the Greater Banjul area
💡 Always agree the fare before getting in. Short trips within Serekunda are about 4 EUR; to Banjul city, expect 8-10 EUR. Green-striped cars are official taxis—stick to those.

Top Attractions in Serekunda
💡 Monday mornings around 10am are busiest for council meetings. Ask permission before taking photos—a small gesture like offering to take a group photo for the elders is appreciated.
💡 Go early, around 8am, to avoid the midday heat. Bargain politely starting at half the asking price, but keep a small note for genuine haggling.
💡 Bring your own water and snacks—vendors are scarce. The best swimming is 50m north where the current is gentler. Avoid the south end near the fishing boats due to debris.
💡 Dress conservatively covering shoulders and knees. The best photo spot is from the small side street to the east just after afternoon prayers (around 3pm).
💡 Take a shared taxi from Serekunda bus station (around 15 dalasi one way). Entry is 50 dalasi for adults. The museum closes for lunch 1pm–2pm, so time your visit before noon.
