Dakar
A charming guesthouse with five bright, cheerfully painted rooms and a terrace with sea views. The restaurant is also a draw, with a deck perched out over the water and good seafood and Italian plates (mains CFA6000 to CFA9500).
You can also hire kayaks for a paddle around the bay (CFA5000 for an hour).
