This old Portuguese port has streets and buildings made of seashells (it's on a small islet that was built up on layers of accumulated shellfish).
It's just across from the small port of Joal and can be reached either by walking across a wooden bridge or via canoe poled by children (passengers must find room in the canoe among plants and oysters). The road to Fadiouth passes peanut plantations. Fadiouth can be seen on a long day trip from Dakar.
80 mi/130 km south of Dakar.
