Bordered by an enchanting lagoon and long stretches of golden sand, Yène stands out as one of the most unique destinations on Senegal’s Petite Côte. The village, renowned for its peaceful atmosphere and warm hospitality, hosts this surf initiation in a setting where raw nature, vibrant local traditions, and genuine friendliness intertwine. On site, the beach stretches between ocean and lagoon. From the moment you arrive, the salty scent of the Atlantic mingles with the aroma of fishing nets, while the voices of fishermen set the rhythm of the morning.
Blue lake, shallow marshes, dunes, and mangroves shelter a teeming wildlife that can be seen along the banks: herons, egrets, and flamingos gather there with the tides. It’s not uncommon, before the session, to meet merchants in colorful boubous crossing the central market, while children play football on the beach behind them.
The surf lesson begins with an introduction to the discipline, a gradual familiarization with the equipment, and personalized guidance. On the sand, balance exercises and first contact with the board alternate with breaks to admire the surrounding nature. As the day goes on, beginners learn to read the waves, follow safety rules, understand the current’s dynamics, and master the take-off — all under the attentive eye of a passionate and patient instructor. After the session, visitors can enjoy a local meal or explore the lagoon as the sun slowly sets.
In Yène, every experience on the wave becomes a unique cultural, natural, and sporting immersion — carried by the energy of the place and the kindness of its people.
