Sangalkam, Senegal

Lake Retba

Lake Retba, also known as Lac Rose, lies north of the Cape Verde peninsula in Senegal, some 35 km north-east of the capital, Dakar. It is named for its pink waters caused by Dunaliella salina algae and is known for its high salt content, up to 40% in some areas. Its colour is usually particularly strong from late January to early March, during the dry season.
