Location
Essaouira bay, Morocco is the perfect kitesurfing spot with a sandy beach, no obstacles, and a shallow side, offering quick and safe learning for beginners and a perfect kitesurfing spot for experienced riders. It has a constant sea wind, with an average of five to six windy days per week especially between March and October, from 12 to 35 knots.
Essaouira: A place to fall in love
Enjoy Essaouira! Discover the city of Essaouira, located on the Atlantic coast and is a port city with around 78,000 inhabitants. A charming harbor and a lively seaside resort overlooking the Atlantic. The city is a veritable maze of streets with old yet modern architecture and traditional Moroccan riads in the old town. Essaouira is known for windsurfing and kitesurfing, thanks to the strong winds that blow almost constantly in the bay, and it is a venue for the annual kitesurfing world cup.
- Beach
Essaouira beach is a vast, golden sandy beach located just outside the old town. It runs for miles from the harbor down to the ruins of Borj El Baroud and to the dunes in the east. Due to its size, it is never crowded; in the morning it almost seems deserted and the atmosphere is always pleasantly relaxed.
Usually, a fresh breeze is blowing, which provides a little cooling, especially in the summer months. This beach is also beautiful in the evening during sunset when the sky shows the most beautiful shades of pink and red.
- City by night
The nightlife scene in Essaouira is pretty chill. Being a Muslim country, only a handful of bars and cafes here serve alcohol. But that doesn’t mean the city falls dead come nighttime! There’s still mint tea and music to enjoy the night. Here are seven popular watering holes to try.
- Surroundings
Low undulating hills extend inland and along the coastline from Essaouira, home to areas of dense forests of fig and eucalyptus, olive, and thuya. However, the area is best known for the argan tree, with many cooperatives set up to process the nut into oil for culinary and cosmetic use. The area is also seeing an increase in permaculture and organic/bio farming with many restaurants now serving locally grown produce.
