Great view

The "Phare des Mamelles" lies on the higher of the two twin basalt cones, Deux Mamelles, 153m above sea level, making it the highest point on the Senegalese coast. Built in 1864, the lighthouse is the oldest lighthouse in Dakar. Its luminosity, in addition to that of the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa, is considered the strongest in Africa. The lighthouse is located in the district of Mamelles on one of the two basalt hills, which give the district its name. From the viewing platform you have a good view of the westernmost point of the African continent, the Pointe des Almadies.

The Pointe des Almadies is the westernmost point of the African continent. The peninsula of Cap Vert, on which the Pointe des Almadies is located, is of volcanic origin and consists of basaltic rocks. The nearby Deux Mamelles twin hills of former volcanoes stand out clearly from the otherwise flat coastal landscape and dominate the landscape. Directly at the Pointe des Almadies, the north and south equatorial currents of the Atlantic meet.
