Ngaparou is a serene fishing village on Senegal’s Petite Côte, known for its golden beaches, lively local markets, and warm hospitality. It’s a perfect escape for travelers seeking authentic West African coastal charm, far from crowded tourist hotspots. Every day, colorfully painted pirogues return with the day’s catch, offering unique moments to watch traditional fishing in action.

Brief History

Originally a small fishing settlement, Ngaparou has grown while keeping its traditions alive. It reflects a mix of influences from different ethnic groups and a rich fishing heritage, which can still be seen in daily life along the shore.
