Djifer
Djiffer
A fishing port at the southern tip of the Palmarin sandspit, busy with fish drying and shell processing. It is the departure point for boats to Sangomar Point and the islands.
Djiffer lies at the southernmost tip of the Palmarin sandspit. It is the liveliest fishing port in the western part of the delta. The beach is lined with dugout canoes, and women under shelters smoke fish, dry it and process shellfish. This is also the main boarding point for boats to Sangomar Point, Dionewar and Niodior and other islands. Boat fares are negotiated per person or for a chartered boat. It is about 10 kilometers from Palmarin, and the road sometimes passes over sand.
