Top Hidden Beaches Around Essaouira
Beyond the city beach: Diabat, Sidi Kaouki, Cap Sim — wild coves by horse, quad or car.
The beach in front of the medina is beautiful — but the real emotion is minutes away. Our favorite beaches for Essaouira beach activities.
Diabat — the discreet star
Bohemian village, palace ruins, endless beach. Start of our horse rides.
Sidi Kaouki — surf & freedom
20 minutes south. Constant waves, surf Essaouira schools, fish restaurants. Spectacular sunset.
Cap Sim — wild & mineral
Dunes, cliffs, caves. Reachable by quad or 4x4. Few people off-season.
North coast toward Moulay
Long windy beaches, perfect after the medina.
