Plage d'Essaouira, Atlantic beach in Essaouira, Morocco
The beach stretches along 2 kilometers of golden sand, bordered by a paved promenade and the ancient city walls of Essaouira.
The beach area includes the 18th-century Borj El Berod fortress ruins, partially submerged in sand dunes near the Ksob River mouth.
Local fishermen conduct daily auctions of their catch near the port section of the beach, maintaining traditional fishing practices.
Strong winds make this location suitable for kitesurfing and windsurfing activities, with equipment rental shops available along the beach.
During low tide, visitors can walk from the main beach to explore natural rock pools formed in the northern section.
