Bureh Beach

Bureh is a fishing village that became the country's one real surf town, after young locals started riding the swells on borrowed boards and formed a club that now teaches and rents to visitors. The wave is a beach break that works best in the rainy months, which inverts the usual coastal calendar and keeps the town alive when the rest of the peninsula empties out. Simple beach huts sit above the sand and the village behind them still fishes for a living. It stays small and unpretentious even now that its name has spread far beyond the coast.
