Workation in Bakau: the essentials

West of Banjul on the Atlantic shore, Bakau is the first big suburb outside the capital and is often called the most developed town in the Gambia. Most people come for the beaches at Cape Point, the botanical gardens or Kachikally, a sacred crocodile pool that Gambians visit for blessings. Fishing boats still land their catch here, and Serrekunda's markets are right next door. Banjul International Airport is about 16 km away. Beach hotels slow down in the rainy season, and power cuts can interrupt a working day.
