Cayar
& The Pink Lake
Cayar
In
the afternoon, hundreds of fishermen come back from
the high sea where they have spent the night. They
bring tons of fish, shrimp, and lobsters in their
brightly-colored dugout canoes. The beach is alive
with buyers, families, and children. It is a colorful
spectacle that you should not miss.
The
Pink Lake
On the way to the beach, you will discover one of
nature's miracles: a completely pink lake. It is shallow,
warm and surrounded by white foam. Everything floats
on it, because of its very high salinity. During the
week, men and mostly women are busy crushing the bottom
of the lake, which consists of a thick crust of salt
that they gather to sell. Sand dunes, a baobab forest
and traditional villages with thatch-roofed huts surround
the Pink Lake also called Retba.
