Lac Rose

Lac Rose

Niaga, Dakar Region

A striking pink-colored salt lake famous for its hue and salt mining.

Lac Rose, officially called Lake Retba, is known for its vivid pink waters caused by Dunaliella salina algae. Local salt collectors wade into the shimmering lake daily, while visitors can float in its dense waters, ride camels along the dunes, or explore nearby villages. It’s one of Senegal’s most surreal landscapes.
