We are located in La Somone

Next to the ocean and far from the traffic jams of Dakar, La Somone is a convenient jumping off point for the wonderful Sine-Saloum region further south. But it’s much more than a stop off. There is so much to see and do in this little town.

Getting there

Our GPS coordinates: 14.491347, -17.080880

The easiest way to get to us (if you are coming from the north/the airport) is by taking the A1 autoroute south to the Nguerine/Ngaparou/Somone exit.

All the things

A gorgeous stretch of beach, the lagoon with its mangroves and twisting creeks, water activities of all kinds, fresh fish and seafood, scooter rentals, salt flats and baobab studded countryside. Then there is the local market, the drummers and dancers, and countless artisans.
