Pepel
Pepel, a coastal town in Sierra Leone's Northern Province, lies on
Pepel Island near the Sierra Leone River's mouth. Its economy revolves around
the port, used for shipping bulk iron ore from the Marampa mines.
While Pepel's industrial focus limits tourist attractions, the Pepel Central Mosque stands as a local landmark,
reflecting the town's cultural heritage. The island's natural beauty, including
its coastline and surrounding waters, offers opportunities for relaxation and
exploration.
