Solomon's Beach Bar

Serekunda & Atlantic Coast Resorts


At the northern end of Kololi beach, this breezy roundhouse serves excellent grilled fish in a buzzing, youthful atmosphere. As light and sunny as the reggae classics on loop. Grab one of the outdoor tables for prime wave-gazing. There's live music on Thursday nights.
