Toubab Dialaw
An artistic seaside village about 50 km southeast of Dakar, with red clay cliffs, a beach and an art hotel, ideal for a relaxing weekend escape.
Toubab Dialaw is a fishing village along the Petite Côte, with a fine-sand beach beneath red sandstone cliffs. The village is home to the well-known Sobadbar art hotel, whose buildings are made of shells, pottery shards and stones, and which often hosts drumming and dance workshops and the Dialaw Art Festival. It is ideal for leaving the city noise behind for a night or a day trip, and visitors can ride horses or take donkey carts along the beach. Waves can be strong, so watch out for rip currents when swimming. It is about 1 to 1.5 hours by taxi or rental car from Dakar.
