Arguin is an island, (believed by some writers to have been visited by Hanno the Navigator), off the west coast of Mauritania, a little south of Cap Blanc, at 20°36' N., 16°28' W. It is some 4 miles long by 21 broad. Off the island, which was discovered by the Portuguese in the 1400s, are extensive and very dangerous reefs. Arguin was occupied in turn by Portugal, the Netherlands, England, France, and Mauritania; and to Mauritania it now belongs.
