Atlantic Coast
The coast of Morocco is wild and windswept. Essaouira is a Mediterranean-style fishing port and is located a few hours from Marrakech. This delightful fishing port has a wide sandy bay of crashing Atlantic waves and an intriguing network of dusty whitewashed houses, shuttered blue with a myriad of narrow alleyways, decaying arches of bygone days and secret doorways which occasionally open out of the hustle and bustle of a tiny square. Essaouira’s beaches which, although are perhaps a little too windy to sunbathe on, offer miles and miles of unbeatable windsurfing and walking.
Alternatively, stay in the town, spend time in the main square, drinking in the cafes, shopping in the very friendly souq or exploring the old medina with its wonderful maze of streets.
