Morocco's Atlantic coast is one of the most consistent surf destinations within easy reach of Europe, and a growing favourite with North American surfers too. Right-hand point breaks, sandy beginner bays and fishing villages that still wake up with the tide — all within a few hours of Marrakech.

This section covers the spots, the seasons and the practical side: how to travel with boards, where to base yourself, and how long each drive takes. We transport boards on our Marrakech to Taghazout and Essaouira to Imsouane routes, and we also drive the coast road from Essaouira to Agadir and north to Oualidia.
