The 5 most beautiful sunset spots in Essaouira
From Diabat beach to the hidden dunes, here's where to watch the sun fall on the Atlantic.
Sunset in Essaouira is an experience in itself. Here are our five favorite spots, from the most famous to the most hidden.
1. The Skala ramparts. The classic. Views over the ocean, the Portuguese cannons, Mogador island. A must once.
2. Diabat beach. Our favorite. Long, wild, perfect for a horse or camel ride at the magic hour.
3. The Cap Sim dunes. 10 minutes south of Essaouira. Ideal by quad or on foot. Incredible light.
4. Sidi Kaouki. Surf beach, hippie atmosphere, dreamy sunsets. Go before or after a ride session.
5. Your riad's rooftop. Underrated. A mint tea, silence, the sea in the distance. Perfect after a full activity day.
Our tip: combine. An activity at sunset, then a rooftop to digest it. That's the definition of a perfect Essaouira evening.
