Île de Ngor & plage de Ngor

Ngor Island lies a short distance from Ngor village off Dakar’s western tip. A pirogue crossing leads to a small inhabited island with beaches, narrow lanes, colourful houses and a rockier ocean-facing coast.

Things to see and do

  • Cross by pirogue from Ngor beach
  • Walk through the lanes and observe island homes respectfully
  • Enjoy the sheltered beaches when swimming conditions are safe
  • View the rocky coast and waves from a safe distance

Good to know

Confirm crossing conditions and the final return locally. Protect belongings from water, supervise children and ask permission before photographing residents or their homes.
