Understand

Cap Skirring beach

Cap Skirring and its twin town Kabrousse are calmer and less touristy (although only slightly) than the resorts of the Petite Côte, yet they boast what is arguably the best beach in Senegal. It's not so calm as to be dull, however. There is a Club Med mind you. There are also plenty of more boutique-style hotels, plus a lively nightlife scene to boot.
