Banana Islands

Not to be confused with Banana Island, Lagos or Banana Island (Qatar).

The Banana Islands are a group of islands that lie off the coast of Yawri Bay, south west of the Freetown Peninsula in the Western Area of Sierra Leone.

Three islands make up the Banana Islands: Dublin and Ricketts are linked by a stone causeway. The third, Mes-Meheux, is the smallest and is uninhabited. Dublin Island is known for its beaches, while Ricketts Island is best known for its forests.

The Banana Islands are only accessible by boat, ferry and helicopter. The major industries in Banana Islands are fishing and tourism.
