Retba Lake, located about 35 kilometers northeast of Dakar, the capital of Senegal, is commonly known as "Pink Lake" by locals. This is a salt lake with a pink surface, so it is also called Rose Lake. The lake is in the desert, not far from the Atlantic Ocean. The color of the lake surface will change due to the change of seasons, because the salinity of the lake water is also changing, so the color of the lake water will change from light green to dark red. December to January of the following year is the most beautiful period for this lake.
