Beach tennis and beach volleyball in Saly are played on courts set up by the sea, in one-hour sessions, with friends or family. Equipment is included, all levels and all ages are accepted, and an instructor can introduce you and give advice.

Two beach sports, one one-hour session

Two sports are offered: beach tennis and beach volleyball, both in 1-hour sessions, priced per person. The courts are specially prepared. Beach tennis is played with a racket and a ball: rackets and balls are provided. The 60-minute length can be adjusted when you book.

An instructor can introduce you and give advice, whatever your level: the activity is open to beginners and confirmed players alike, and to all ages. It is a way to have fun while improving your technique and coordination. Bring light, comfortable sports clothes, water, sun protection, a cap and a towel.

Booking is advised, to make sure of a slot and a court, especially at weekends.

If you live in Dakar, this is a sports session with no sea and no boat, which slips into a day in Saly. If you are visiting, it is the dry alternative to the water, useful when you want to move without going far from the beach, or when the sea is less inviting.

Saly, between beach and courts

Saly is the seaside resort of the Petite Côte, about 80 km south of Dakar. The courts are set up by the sea, and sessions are organised from the beach. The resort attracts thousands of visitors each year in search of sun, turquoise sea and Senegalese hospitality, and the racket has its place alongside the board.

Things to do around Saly

To round out the day, you can take to the water with jet skiing or paddling, or choose a more family-oriented moment from the family days and children’s outings. A few kilometres away, the Somone lagoon and the Bandia Reserve offer another flavour.
