Black Johnson beach
About the Beach
Black Johnson is one of the best options for those looking for a pristine, unspoilt beach. It’s only a couple of hundred meters long, with palm trees and the rainforest all around, giving it the feel of a secluded getaway. The water is usually calm, with good conditions for swimmers of all levels. There is also an eco-resort offering accommodation and meals, perfect for getting away for a few days without having to travel too far from Freetown.
How to get there?
Similarly, to John Obey, Black Johnson Beach is away from villages and suburbs, so you’ll need your own vehicle to get there. Driving time from Freetown is about one hour, and it’s advisable to rent a taxi for a day and have the driver wait for you. You can also combine a visit to Black Johnson with John Obey, about 4 km south – it only takes 10 minutes to drive between the two, walking is not advisable as there’s a rocky headland to cross.
