Mamelles Lighthouse was erected to help guide vessels through stormy waters. Still a distinguished local landmark today, it's sure to have a few stories to tell about sailing triumphs and tragedies.
Mamelles Lighthouse has an entry fee and is a well-known attraction in Ouakam. You'll find plenty of other things to see and do nearby, so why not hang around a while? African Renaissance Statue, Dakar Grand Mosque and Sandaga Market are also on the itineraries of many travelers.
