Sidi Kaouki Beach
شاطئ سيدي كاوكي
A wide surfing beach about 25 km south of Essaouira, with a white saint's tomb and a relaxed surf village.
Sidi Kaouki Beach lies about 25 km south of Essaouira. It is a well-known surfing and kitesurfing spot on Morocco's Atlantic coast, with a broad, open shoreline. A white tomb of the saint Sidi Kaouki stands by the sea. The small village has surf schools, guesthouses and cafés, and it feels calmer than Essaouira itself. Visitors can stroll along the beach on horseback or by camel. Taxis from Essaouira take about 30 minutes, and local minibuses also run, making it suitable for a half-day or day trip.
