Kaloum Peninsula

Sticking out into the Atlantic Ocean, Kaloum Peninsula (a.k.a. Camayenne Peninsula) forms part of the coastline of GUINEA, a West African country that speaks French as an official language and local languages. The peninsula is known as Presqu'ile de Kaloum in French and is located northeast of a group of islands, Îles de Los. The Atlantic coastline is in the southwest part of the country. Tombo is technically a small, circular island located southwest of the Kaloum Peninsula, but a roadway and additional manmade development connects both pieces of land. Therefore, satellite images show that the island is attached to the peninsula and the mainland of Guinea. Guinea's capital and largest city, Conakry, is found on the island and peninsula. As seen on satellite images, the Kaloum Peninsula is heavily urbanized and developed.
