Lac Rose — photo spot in Lac rose, Niaga, Senegal
Lac Rose
Lac Rose (Lake Retba) is a shallow salt lake famed for vivid pink water and geometric salt mounds with working salt-harvesters — a striking contrast of color and texture. Best photographed on sunny days during the dry season (Nov–Jun) when salinity and pink tones peak; midday can yield the most saturated color, while sunrise/sunset give dramatic silhouettes and reflections. Located ~40 km NE of Dakar, accessible by paved road; parking and local guides/boat rides are available. Respect workers: +
