Home to many different types of birds, Lagune de la Somone is a nature reserve on the banks of the Somone River. Spanning 7,000 hectares (12,297 acres), this protected area attracts various species of migrating birds, including pink flamingos, pelicans, herons, sea gulls, and egrets. A sandy stretch between the river and the baobab forest serves as a pleasant beach and a departure point for boat tours. You can watch fishermen bring their daily catch or visit one of the surrounding villages, as well as head to a nearby oyster farm to see how the locals live and work on a daily basis. For travelers who use our international travel planner, Somone holidays become easier to arrange, with trips to the Lagune de la Somone and other attractions mapped out and timetabled.

The lagoona is a fun place to spend the day and learn to paddle board because it is relatively shallow and as still as a lake but as salty as the sea that is feeding it. You can also take a boat ride.... more

Cool place not far from Dakar, with nice restaurants around. In time of our visit it wasn't stuffed, it was nice and quiet.

Calm, clean and beautiful place to visit. You can get a one hour boat ride through the lagoon for around 20 euro. Staff are honest and uncomplicated, prices are fixed. There are local restaurants with fresh seafood etc. Also some fancy hotels/resorts. Beaches here are sparkling clean and there are places suitable for families/kids. Highly recommended!

Highly recommended when on the Petite Cote. The ride in pirogue in the mangroves is a must have. We paid 10000 fcfa for two people with Paco.

Such a beautiful and peaceful boat ride through the mangroves! Seeing the different bird species up close and just being able to refuel with the beauty nature offers us. Highly recommend especially if you need to blow the cobwebs out of your mind so to speak. You can stop at one of the restaurants afterwards such as Chez Rasta, Chez Adam, Chez Ibra or any of the other ones like it, your guide can come and take you back to the "mainland" when you're ready to go. 😁.
