You’ll find all the usual comforts of home too, including clean showers, satellite TV, and wifi access.

Day 2-3: Surf Camp in Taghazout

Days 2 and 3 are spent relaxing at the surf house, catching the waves, and spending time exploring the fishing village. A typical surf day starts at 10 a.m. when we all head to the best surf spot of the day. A 2-hour surf lesson is given by the surf coaches to the group. Then after that everyone goes in the water to practice what they have learned.

The surf coaches will keep an eye on everyone, offering help when needed until around 5 p.m. when the group returns to the surf house in Taghazout to relax. Although Taghazout is quite small, there’s plenty of things to do in addition to surfing, including weekly markets, BBQs, and trips to the nearby hammam (bathhouse).
