Wind City of Africa
A breezy Atlantic port with white-and-blue ramparts, seafood, and surf.
Essaouira's UNESCO-listed medina, vibrant fishing port, and sandy beaches draw artists and surfers alike. It's laid-back and walkable, with galleries, argan cooperatives, and coastal cafés made for lingering.
Essaouira-Mogador Airport (ESU) has limited flights; frequent buses from Marrakech (≈3h).
Riad stays in the medina or beachfront hotels along the Corniche.
