Why does Gambia get such a reputation as "Africa's Smiling Coast"?

Because The Gambia has unpolluted sea water and golden, soft and fine sandy beaches. Under the golden sunshine, all those who go to Gambia’s beaches will have happiness involuntarily on their faces. The Gambia is known as the Smiling Coast of Africa. In the final analysis, it is actually the beautiful nature and the gifts of nature that have conquered mankind and conquered human senses, so people gave it such a beautiful name.

The Gambia is located in the west of Africa. When talking about Africa, what is the first thing that comes to mind? Endless deserts, scorching heat, African tribes, etc., but The Gambia is somewhat different. The Gambia is the smallest country in Africa. The western part of The Gambia is close to the Atlantic Ocean, and the remaining three sides are surrounded by land. Therefore, The Gambia's coastline is also located in the western part of The Gambia. Like most African countries, The Gambia once existed in the world as a colony until it became independent in 1965, but it did not officially withdraw from the Commonwealth until 2013.

As an African country, The Gambia is located on the Atlantic coast, so it has a savanna climate and is relatively rich in water resources. Moreover, what is rare is that The Gambia is rich in groundwater resources. The Gambia is built along the river. The Gambia River is rich in fish resources, and there are many mangroves on both sides. The mangrove swamps formed by these mangroves attract many birds, so there is also a large nature reserve in The Gambia. Because Gambia's economic development is low and there are no strong economic sources to rely on, they rely even more on these gifts of nature.

Because The Gambia is built on a river, the Gambia River eventually enters the ocean. Therefore, the scenery along the way is extremely beautiful. They have unpolluted Atlantic waters, rich marine biological resources, and beautiful beaches. The sand on the beach is soft and beautiful, making it a rare tourist attraction, so it is known as the "Smiling Coast of Africa".
