Cap Skirring, located on the Atlantic coast in Senegal's Basse Casamance region near the Guinea-Bissau border, is a popular seaside resort known for its beaches, golf course, and airport. Originally settled by fishermen, the area was developed into a recreational beach destination in the 1960s by the French from Ziguinchor, with a small-plane landing strip established by the Aero Club de Ziguinchor.
