Morocco
Taghazout
A fishing village turned surf haven where Atlantic swells meet Berber coastline.
Taghazout stretches along Morocco's Atlantic edge, where weathered fishing boats share the shore with colorful surfboards. The village moves to the rhythm of tides and swells, with tagine smoke drifting from rooftop terraces as surfers scan the horizon. Argan trees dot the hillsides behind town, while the call to prayer echoes over breaking waves.
