Yof Bay (French: Baie de Yoff) is a bay on the north side of the Cap-Vert peninsula, directly north of the city centre of Dakar, Senegal. It stretches southwest from the town Kayar to Yoff, a suburb of Dakar.[1] The bay opens towards the north and lies in the area of the westernmost point of Africa. Small Île de Yoff lies in the NW corner of the bay.[2]
