TANJI FISHING VILLAGE

The fishing village of Tanji is best to visit in the late afternoon when the fishermen are returning with their catch of the day (this catch can even consist of sharks, sea turtles and barracudas) and the women come down to help unload the fish to the beach. The fish is smoked on the spot, spreading a heavy odour of smoked fish throughout the whole village. With the sun setting, de smoke of the fish, the pirogues (canoes) on the beach and the beautiful traditional clothing of the women you can rest assured that you have great photo opportunities.

The collection of thousands of (not working) refrigerators on the beach, in which the fish is stored temporarily, is very humorous.
