  Moulay Bouzerktoun 

	Moulay Bouzerktoun is famous for windsurfing. There are high waves and most of the time a strong wind is blowing.
Besides this, the village is of little interest. A few cafes offer drinks, but you cannot buy a cold coke, as there is no electricity.

 Sidi Kaouki

This beautiful, quiet beach is located 12km south of Essaouira, direction of Agadir, on the right. The road ends in a holy place.

Sidi Kaouki is known as the best windsurfing spot in Morocco, but as the waves can be very high, you should have experience.

Along the beach there are a lot of Argania trees and many tourists use this beautiful area as a campground.

 

There are also some small hostels and hotels.
