Yene

Yene is a small fishing village on Senegal's Petite Côte, roughly 40 km southeast of Dakar. It is one of the villages that has best preserved traditional Lebou culture, where fishing is not only economic but carries ritual and ceremonial significance tied to the sea. Sandy cliffs and beaches, along with a lagoon, have drawn a growing mix of Senegalese families, artists, and surfers to settle here, even as coastal erosion and dwindling fish stocks put pressure on the traditional fishing economy.
