Route de la Corniche Ouest, Coastal trunk road in Dakar, Senegal.
Route de la Corniche Ouest is a coastal trunk road in Dakar with separate lanes for vehicles and pedestrians along the Atlantic Ocean. The stretch provides views of fishing boats and connects different neighborhoods through a modern road system.
The road was built to connect different neighborhoods of Dakar while preserving direct access to the Atlantic coastline. The project shaped the modern urban infrastructure and enabled better mobility along the coast.
The road serves as a gathering place where residents come to exercise, play beach sports, and take evening walks along the ocean. People use this stretch regularly to maintain their fitness routines while enjoying the coastal breeze.
Multiple access points connect the road to public transportation, and designated parking areas are available nearby. Visitors should choose early morning or evening hours for walking or exercise when weather conditions are more pleasant.
The road features outdoor exercise equipment positioned at intervals, allowing residents to work out while watching fishermen at work on the water. This blend of fitness and ocean views makes it an unusual training location compared to traditional gyms.
