About Point of Sangomar

Point of Sangomar is a sandspit in the Saloum Delta, Senegal. It is 55 kilometers from Banjul International Airport (BJL) and 5.042 kilometers from the town of Niodior. Chez Marabout is a nearby beach located 24.771 kilometers away.

From Wikipedia

The Point of Sangomar is a sand spit located on the Atlantic Ocean at the mouth of the Saloum Delta, which marks the end of the Petite Côte west of Senegal.
This narrow sandbar extends south about twenty kilometers from Palmarin Diakhanor. Long threatened by coastal erosion, the fragile cord was again broken by a tidal wave in 1987, giving birth to the island of Sangomar. The gap between this new island and the point where the village of Djifer is found continues to widen.
