This village is only 15km north of Essaouira. But it will offer you something different, a little nostalgic and peaceful.

By car, you can reach this fishing village in about 30 minutes.

The first sight we have of the village, from the road, is this incredible plunge into the Atlantic. A large white mosque dominates the small village. Once there, you will be impressed by the serenity of the beach.

The village of Moulay Bouzerktoun has few small fishermen's houses. There are a couple of restaurants that offer a lot of fish and tagines. When you cross the village, you arrive on the beautiful wild beach. This beach is a world-famous spot for water sports enthusiasts.

Wind And Waves

In the Essaouira region, the north-east wind is called Chargui. It blows all year round between 4 and 5. And it increases from mid-March until mid-September (reaches force 7)

In winter, the trade wind is less constant (3/4 Beaufort) and comes from other directions.

The waves are exceptional from spring to fall. We recommend sails 3.7, 4.2, and 4.7. A 5m can also be good in winter. Boards should be between 65 and 80 liters.
