Marrakech (and vicinity) and its attractions for beach lovers
While Marrakech is famed for its vibrant souks and exquisite palaces, it’s also within striking distance of stunning beach areas, particularly in Essaouira, just a couple of hours away. This charming coastal town boasts a UNESCO World Heritage-listed medina, where you can wander through narrow alleys lined with artisanal shops and cafes. The windswept beaches of Essaouira are perfect for windsurfing and kitesurfing, attracting adventure seekers eager to catch the waves. Don’t miss the chance to sample fresh seafood at one of the bustling harbour-side stalls, where the catch of the day is grilled to perfection. For a taste of local culture, visit the historic Skala de la Ville, an ancient rampart that offers panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and the town’s picturesque layout. If you’re keen on a luxurious stay, the hotels along the beachfront combine stunning views with high-end amenities, giving you the perfect base to relax after a day of exploration. In Essaouira, the blend of vibrant culture, picturesque scenery, and attentive hospitality will ensure a memorable experience for all the family.
