Founded by the Portuguese in the 18th century, Essaouira is one of Morocco’s most enjoyable and attractive towns on the coast. Its charm is undeniable with its white-washed and blue shuttered houses, art galleries, wood workshops, fishermen, and colorful boats — all enclosed by ancient red walls. The town faces a group of rocky islands and is surrounded by an expanse of empty sandy beaches and dunes. Everything in the small center is within walking distance and the beaches are quite clean. In the summer, many people from the big cities come for a day or two to escape the heat and tension of the big cities.
Many tourists are attracted by the constant wind, good for windsurfing and surfing. The windy city has become internationally famous for its contests and has brought windsurfers from all over the world.
There’s so much to explore and enjoy here at Essaouira.
