Ile de Goree Beach
Sandanga lies roughly midway on Plateau center in Dakar and is the biggest of Dakar`s markets. If you are not familiar with African markets is worth a visit, but be careful with your valuables and do not be fooled to follow strangers. Sandanga is a mix of flea market and tourist market. It is fussy and chaotic and sellers are ongoing. Try to visit Sandanga early in the morning. It is less crowded at that time of day and fruits and vegetables are fresh and look attractive.

The Soumbédioune Fish Market is a place to observe life and commerce in Dakar, Senegal. It's busy and bustling, with ocean views and briny air that has the distinct smell of fish. Come on a Saturday afternoon when things are in full swing. Be respectful when taking photographs however and make sure you ask vendors if it's okay to capture them or their wares on film before you snap.

It is located at Rte. de Yoff, heading towards the airport. Here artists can get a studio space and some support from the government. It’s like a small walled village where people work and some also live here. Some foreign artists are also invited to stay in shorter periods as Artists in Residens. This is probably one of the most important measures to support the contemporary art in Senegal and an important contribution to the Dakar art scene.
