Langue de Barbarie

Langue de Barbarie is a coastal strip near Saint-Louis between the Senegal River and the Atlantic. Its landscape includes dunes, beach, waterways and coastal birds. The shoreline changes over time: use permitted access and respect protected areas.

Things to see and do

  • Observe where river and ocean landscapes meet.
  • Watch birds without entering sensitive areas.
  • Explore dunes and beach through an authorised access point.

Good to know

Ask about crossings and weather conditions; swimming in the ocean requires caution.
