FISHERMEN’S BEACH The Corniche beachfront is a spectacle of Senegalese athleticism. Men, and some women, with chiseled bodies run on the sidewalk and do push-ups in the sand. Basketball and soccer courts are always in use. Trampolines send children and young men into head-spinning acrobatics. At the beach called Soumbedioune, it is the fishermen’s world. Watch as their pirogues return in the late afternoon, then view the day’s catch of swordfish, sea urchins, shrimp, daurade and rouget.
