Ile de Ngor- Travel Tips

What to See, How to Plan & Tours

Île de Ngor, a small island near Dakar's northern coast, offers a quiet contrast to the city's bustle. Its sheltered beaches face the bay, while the Atlantic side draws surfers with consistent waves. A compact fishing village with sandy paths, casual seafood restaurants, and guesthouses fills the interior. Frequent pirogues shuttle visitors from Plage de N'Gor for a short, wet landing—pack light and expect barefoot steps ashore. Day-trippers dominate, but overnight stays allow for early waves and sunset views.
