One of the highlights of Mbour is the fish market on the beach. It is a colorful, smelly chaos. Visit it in the late afternoon when the fishing boats arrive and the selling of fresh fish starts. Keep in mind that people are not too fond of having their picture taken. Make sure you get permission when shooting portraits or just shoot overview shots. Please dress decently to avoid annoying comments.
Once in Mbour: Taxis are relatively cheap, from 500-800 CFA depending on the length of the trip and the time of day.
