Touristic activities

Imsouane is a popular destination for tourists due to its scenes and its waves that are suitable for surfing.[1]

Imsouane is growing in popularity every year with more hostels, restaurants, and surf shops opening frequently.

In spite of this, the town still retains its laidback nature, which some visitors liken to Taghazout in the 60's and 70's.[citation needed]

Surfing

edit

There are two main spots for surfing in Imsouane:

  1. La Cathedrale, a beach break spot
  2. La Bay, a point break spot.
