- 5 Reviews
Plage de Virage is a compact beach favored by surfers, known for its lively weekend atmosphere dominated by locals, with occasional international visitors stopping by due to its proximity to the airport, just 1.5km north. The shoreline offers consistent waves, drawing a dedicated surfing community, while the surrounding area remains relatively undeveloped, maintaining a casual, unfussy vibe. Nearby amenities are limited, so visitors often bring their own supplies. The beach’s accessibility makes it a convenient stop for those traveling to or from Blaise Diagne International Airport.

We visited this beach 2 times so far and both have been fun! This is a quieter beach than Plage de Yoff for example. there is only one restaurant that I saw and the staff is nice. there is a little stand where you can get a couple beers and sit your things down. kids play soccer at night.

A wastewater stream runs into the beach on the western side, so swimming or surfing here is inadvisable to say the least. Those who swim and surf here do so in contaminated water. It's not a bad place to have a drink and watch the waves though.
