Children splashed in the surf or built sandcastles under the blazing sun, while adults cooled off in the water or gathered under shade to escape the relentless heat. Street vendors roamed the crowded beach, selling chilled drinks and snacks to weary beachgoers trying to beat the heat. The heatwave has driven thousands to Dakar’s shoreline, transforming the coast into both a refuge and a scene of summer vibrancy as residents contend with the oppressive weather.
