For those living in Linden, swimming at Bamia creek, which is along the Linden/Soesdyke Highway, is a regular fun feature on weekends, where friends and families get together for drinks and a cool swim. It is lesser known among residents of Georgetown, who are more familiar with the creeks closer to the highway junction nearer to the city.
Bamia Creek is the last creek before meeting the Linden junction: about 10 minutes before the bauxite-mining town. Bamia itself is a quiet community surrounded by lush nature. The few households live closely and are self-sufficient. Everyone depends on the rich, black-water creek, which divides the community from the main road, for cooking, drinking and washing.
The next time you are travelling along the highway or visiting Linden, ensure you visit this little oasis and indulge in a revitalizing swim. For more information on Bamia and other tourists’ sites in Linden, visit www.guymine.com
