In this guide

Imsouane is a small fishing village, and most people come for the surf. The days have room for more than the waves, though.

Surf the bay

The bay’s long, gentle wave is why the village is known. Beginners can take a two-hour lesson; more confident surfers head to Cathedral on the north side. Our guide to the surf spots explains the difference.

The fishing port and fish market

Boats land their catch at the port, where it is cleaned and sold on the spot. Small restaurants near the beach cook fresh fish the same day.

Sunset over the bay

The bay faces the evening sun. Find a spot on the headland and watch the last surfers ride in.

Yoga

A yoga class is a good way to start the day or recover after a session.

The dunes down the coast

South of Imsouane, near Tamri, the Timlalin dunes offer quad biking, sandboarding and camel rides. Read the Timlalin dunes guide before you go.
