Moulay Bouzerktoun
مولاي بوزرقطون
A windy seaside spot about 20 km north of Essaouira, drawing windsurfers and kitesurfers from around the world with strong, steady winds and big waves.
Moulay Bouzerktoun is a seaside village about 20 km north of Essaouira. Its strong, steady winds have earned it a reputation as a world-class windsurfing and kitesurfing destination. Professional athletes often train here, and the waves can be challenging for beginners. Along the shore are a few simple cafés and surf camps. Even without going into the water, visitors can sit on the beach and watch experienced riders jump the waves. A taxi from Essaouira takes about 25 minutes, and the trip can be combined with viewpoints along the northern coast road.
