Cape Blanc has two other points of interest. South of Nouadhibou lies Cansado which is smaller and dustier. Cansado means "tired" in Portuguese.
The West Saharan side is a completely vacuum, the only built area being the ruins of Lagouira. According to Wikipedia:
> By 2002, it had been abandoned and partially overblown by sand, inhabited only by a few Imraguen fishermen[4][5] and guarded by a Mauritanian military outpost, despite this not being Mauritanian territory.[5] 
> the western side is currently policed by Mauritania, as neither Morocco nor the Polisario Front occupies the area. 
It's just completely forgotten by anyone who lays claim to it. No roads or airport leading to the sole settlement which is being swallowed by the dunes. The vast Atlantic crashes its waves on the beach.
