Cap Skirring Beach
Plage du Cap Skirring
One of the most beautiful Atlantic beaches in southern Senegal, with long stretches of fine sand merging into palm groves, and hotels and beach restaurants lining the shore.
Cap Skirring Beach stretches for several kilometers along the Atlantic, with fine white sand and gentle slopes backed by stands of palms and casuarina trees. It is Senegal's best-known beach resort, with Club Med and many family guesthouses right on the shore. In the dry season, the sea is calmer, making swimming, horseback riding, and grilled fish all possible. At low tide, walking along the sand south toward the Kabrousse area is delightful. Currents can sometimes be strong, so pay attention to lifeguard flags. During peak season, charter flights fly directly from Europe to Cap Skirring Airport.
