The Atlantic Coast

Pristine golden sand beaches, the best surfing in Morocco, gorgeous sunsets and beautiful Art Deco / Mauresque architecture

Come for:

• Pristine beaches, a burgeoning kiteboarding and windsurfing scene, vibrant medinas and souks, and fresh sea food (Essaouira)
• The best surfing in Morocco, quaint fishing villages with charming cafés, and inviting golden sand beaches (Taghazout and Agadir)
• Art Deco architecture, inviting beaches with natural-stone archways, beautiful sunsets and a laid-back lifestyle (the former Spanish enclave of Sidi Ifni)
• Palm-lined boulevards, UNESCO World Heritage mosques, striking Moorish monuments, and wave of Moroccan nationalism (Rabat, the capital city)

• Mauresque architecture and the economic capital (Casablanca)

Don’t expect:

• To visit these sites without significant travel along the coastline
• Many activities that don't involve the water
