La Cabane du Surfeur is (in my book) the original surf shack. Maybe others existed first, but it was the first one we went to and the only one we went to for a long time. Today we went back and I couldn’t remember why we ever stopped!

What you need to know is simple. Brochettes, seafood, fries, cold drinks. Beautiful view, rocky wading pool at midday, plastic tables and chairs under unbrellas, play area for kids.

Beach road in Almadies, just before the bilingual school and across from La Prainha.
