La bottine souriante sur la grande c te
The Grande Côte is a stretch of coast in Senegal, running north from the Cap Vert peninsula to St-Louis.
Contents
A sandy beach runs along the entire coast, which, unlike the Petite Côte, has few settlements – Kayar and Mboro being exceptions. The last stage of the Dakar Rally runs along the beach. The coastline is also relatively rich in heavy minerals, with significant amounts of zircon having recently been discovered.

Transport
In 2012, a railway branch line is proposed to haul mineral sands traffic.
