Beach Overview: La Petite Cote, Senegal

By Matt Link

Mostly built up in the 1980s, La Petite Cote ("The Little Coast") is the premier beach destination in the West African nation of Senegal.

La Petite Cote—specifically the Saly area of the coast—is the most popular tourist spot in the country and has the best selection of hotels in Senegal.
