Destinations: Essaouira · Duration: 5 hours · Difficulty: Easy · Group size: Up to 10
Essaouira’s beach is one of the great walking sands of Morocco — a wide, wind-brushed crescent that stretches for kilometres beyond the town walls. This half-day is about breathing the ocean air and feeling the coast rather than ticking off monuments.
You set out along the shoreline where kitesurfers stitch the sky and camels rest on the dunes, then follow the bay south to the half-buried ruins of Borj el Baroud, an old fortress the sand is slowly reclaiming. Along the way your guide points out the dune flora, the shellfish gatherers and the estuary birdlife.
It is a flexible, gentle outing that families and couples both love. Walk the whole way, hop on a camel for a stretch, or simply stop to swim and picnic where the crowds thin out and the Atlantic does the talking.
Ontmoeting aan de zuidkant van de boulevard en vertrek langs het open zand.
Bereik de rustende kameelkuddes en maak een optionele korte rit door de duinen.
Verken de romantische door zand bedekte vesting en haar uitzichten op de Atlantische Oceaan.
Vrije tijd om te zwemmen of te picknicken voor een makkelijke wandeling terug naar de stad.
Helemaal niet. Hij wordt als optie aangeboden; u kunt de hele route te voet afleggen als u dat prefereert.
Ja, er is vrije tijd om te zwemmen, hoewel de Atlantische Oceaan hier verfrissend is en stromingen sterk kunnen zijn, dus wijzen we de veiligste plekken aan.
Zeker. Het tempo is zacht, het strand is open en kinderen houden meestal van de kamelen en de ruïnevesting.
Essaouira staat bekend om zijn bries, waar we rekening mee houden; op de zeldzame ongeschikte dagen plannen we om of passen we de route aan beschutte stukken aan.
De voorzieningen bevinden zich aan de stadszijde van het strand, dus plannen we de stops dienovereenkomstig en dragen we water gedurende de hele route.
