Fly into Blaise Diagne: Dakar's AIBD airport at Diass is much closer to Saly than central Dakar; arrange a transfer with your hotel or agree a taxi fare before you set off.
Negotiate taxi fares: Taxis around Saly and Mbour rarely use meters, so agree the price before getting in and carry small CFA franc notes for the exact amount.
Try a horse cart in Mbour: Calèches are still a common way to get around nearby Mbour; they are slow but cheap and a fun way to reach the fish market.

Handle beach hustlers politely: Young men offering friendship, tours or souvenirs on Saly's beach can be persistent; a firm but friendly no thanks usually works.
Respect the Atlantic currents: Waves and currents on the Petite Côte can be strong; swim near hotel beaches with lifeguards and avoid swimming alone at dusk.
Protect against mosquitoes: Malaria is present in Senegal, especially in the rainy season; use repellent, sleep under a net or with screens and ask a doctor about prophylaxis.

Eat thieboudienne at local spots: Small restaurants in Saly Village and Mbour serve the national fish and rice dish for far less than resort restaurants.
Bargain at the craft market: Prices at Saly's artisan market start high; smile, counter with a much lower offer and settle somewhere in the middle.
Visit in shoulder months: Hotels on the Petite Côte drop prices outside the European winter holidays, and late spring is still dry and sunny.

Enjoy the dry season: From roughly November to June, Saly is sunny and dry with a cooling sea breeze; pack light cotton clothing, sunscreen and a hat.
Expect heat and rain from July: The rainy season brings humid heat and heavy showers until about October; quick-dry clothes and sandals are best.
Prepare for harmattan haze: In the dry months, dusty desert winds can blow in, making mornings hazy; a light scarf and eye drops help.

Share attaya tea: Senegalese mint tea is served in three rounds, each sweeter than the last; if invited, accept and take your time, it is a sign of teranga hospitality.
Greet first, always: Start every exchange with a greeting such as salaam aleekum or nanga def in Wolof; jumping straight to business can feel rude.
Dress modestly off the beach: Senegal is mostly Muslim, so cover shoulders and knees in Mbour and in villages, and keep swimwear for the beach and pool.

Go early to Mbour fish market: Arrive when the colourful pirogues land their catch in late afternoon or morning for the liveliest scenes on the coast.
Day trip to Joal-Fadiouth: The shell island village linked by a wooden bridge, with its shared Christian and Muslim cemetery, is a short drive south of Saly.
Kayak the Somone lagoon: Just north of Saly, the Lagune de la Somone is great for kayaking, birdwatching and calm water swims away from the resort crowds.
