Morocco #3: Imsouane

Imsouane

During our stay in Morocco, in the beginning of 2015, we took a road trip from Rabat to Southern Morocco with Shark and a couple of friends. After Agadir and Taghazout, we spent a day in Imsouane. It’s a wonderful and peaceful village located on a headland between the cities of Essaouira (North) and Agadir (South). There are mainly fishermen and surfers as the this place offers the longest wave of Morocco. For this reason, you will find some small hotels and restaurants but above all, Imsouane is a safe heaven at the end of the world… (Locate Imsouane on Google Maps)

First stop on the cliff overlooking the small village. We park the car along the southern road (coming from Agadir) ans walk a few meters. This viewpoint offers  breathtaking panorama on the Atlantic ocean, the southern coastline and the headland of Imsouane.
