Essaouira is perhaps best known for its sprawling, sandy beach. You’ll find beachside cafes where you can enjoy lunch, and chairs and umbrellas (although not so many bikinis) on the sand if you want to catch some sun. If leisurely beach days aren’t your thing, the strong “Alizée” trade winds make it a popular spot for surfing, kitesurfing, and windsurfing.
