💡 Walk south past the far end of the lodges for a quieter stretch where turtles sometimes nest from July to October. Ask local kids where the best surf breaks are.
💡 Go early around 9am before the heat and tourist vans arrive. Prices are lower than in Saly, but still offer half the asking price first. Vendors will take 3,000–5,000 CFA for a decent mask.
💡 Best light is just after sunrise—you’ll also see fishermen preparing their boats nearby. Respect the boats—some still have nets and tools left inside. No admission, but a 500 CFA donation to the local fishing cooperative is appreciated.
💡 Take a 20-minute pirogue ride from Ngaparou pier for 1,000 CFA per person round-trip, or walk along the beach at low tide. Bring water and wear sandals—broken shells are sharp.
