Tokeh is a small fishing village located on the northern coast of Sierra Leone, about 10 miles from Freetown. This coastal town is known for its beautiful beaches, lush tropical forests, and unique culture. The population of Tokeh is approximately 5,000 people, and the main language spoken is Krio.
The town is situated on a peninsula between the Atlantic Ocean and the Sierra Leone River. The town is surrounded by mangrove forests, which provide a habitat for a variety of wildlife. The beach is a popular spot for swimming, sunbathing, and fishing.
Tokeh has a long history of fishing and trading, and was once a major port of call for ships sailing between Europe and Africa. During the 1800s, the port was an important hub for the slave trade. The town also has a rich cultural heritage, with traditional music, dance, and art.
Tokeh was also the site of a major battle during the Sierra Leone Civil War, when the Revolutionary United Front (RUF) attacked the town in 1998. The attack was repelled by the Sierra Leone Army, with the help of the British Army, and the town was eventually liberated.
Today, Tokeh is a peaceful and beautiful place to visit. The town is a popular tourist destination, and visitors can explore the local culture, enjoy the beaches and forests, and take part in fishing and other activities.
