Cap Skirring
Wild beach in Casamance
Golden sands, palm trees and Atlantic sunsets. Beach escape 45 minutes north of Bissau.
Cap Skirring is one of the most beautiful beach destinations in West Africa: 20 km of fine sand, palm trees right to the shore, and a warm ocean year-round. It is the southern tip of the Senegalese Casamance region — culturally distinct from the rest of Senegal: green, tropical, with strong Portuguese influence. Many French own holiday homes here — the airport connects to Paris in high season and to Bissau year-round thanks to Air Bijagos.
