Essaouira and the Atlantic Coast
Ocean breeze, whitewashed ramparts, fresh fish and argan cooperatives.
Overview
Essaouira is the relaxed Atlantic cousin of Marrakech: a UNESCO medina, blue fishing boats and a constant sea breeze that attracts surfers and artists.
Continue to Agadir and Taghazout for beaches and surf, or stop at women-run argan cooperatives to see how the oil is made.
