Cape Point sits at the northern tip of the Bakau peninsula, where the Atlantic meets Cape Creek. It is one of the calmest and most established corners of Greater Banjul, and over the years it has drawn embassies, hotels and long-standing residents to the same few streets.
Why it holds its appeal
The neighbourhood pairs beachfront on the doorstep with quick access to the Senegambia strip, to Banjul's city centre and to Banjul International Airport. That combination, a quiet coastal setting within reach of everything, is what gives the area its reputation as the diplomatic quarter.
Everyday life
Days here tend to revolve around the water: the beach, the creek and the light at either end of the day. Cafés, small retail and international schools are close by, and the pace is noticeably gentler than the busier resort strips further south.
