Dakhla, Essaouira and the Atlantic coast
Dakhla's lagoon is one of the finest beginner-to-freestyle spots on the planet: huge, flat, shallow and consistently windy, with camps lined up along the water. Essaouira and Moulay Bouzerktoun bring Atlantic swell and strong summer wind for wave riders, while Dakhla's ocean side offers waves for those who want them. It is a country where you can learn in perfect flatwater and graduate to real waves without changing regions much.
