Dublin is a large coastal fishing village on the Banana Islands in the Western Area Rural District of Sierra Leone.

[1] Like the rest of the Banana Islands, Dublin is reached by boat from Kent, easily arranged by the resort.

The population of Dublin is largely from the Creole and Sherbro ethnic groups.

The inhabitants of Dublin are mainly the descendants of freed African Americans, West Indians (mostly from Jamaica) and liberated African slaves who were resettled on the Banana Islands in the mid 19th century.

Dublin and the whole of the Banana Islands served as one of the transit centres for slaves bought from Sierra Leone and transported to the Americas during the slave era.
