Spend a week at Sable Beach, a friendly surf camp in Tamraght, a laid-back village on Morocco’s Atlantic coast. The group will learn to surf with local instructors, unwind with sunset yoga, and share three homemade Moroccan meals a day. Beyond the beach, you’ll hike and swim in the natural pools of Paradise Valley, surf the famous long wave at Imsouane, sandboard down the Tamri dunes, and explore Agadir’s vibrant Souk El Ahad. You’ll also choose between quad biking and a sunset horse ride, and end the week with a traditional hammam. There’s free time to explore Tamraght’s cafés and beaches too. Your trip supports local jobs, from surf instructors to cooks and drivers.
