about hiking Taghazout Hike – Above the Ocean
This Taghazout Hike takes you to the upper backcountry mountains of this small fishing village that has grown to become Morocco’s number one surf spot. This area is blessed with some of the world’s most consistent surf, and surfers from across the globe pilgrimage here. But, it is known for more than just its beaches. The mountains behind, provide some of the most beautiful trails to explore nature and get a taste of rural Berber culture. In these villages, traditions have remained untouched, as until 1927, the tribes of Idaoutanane had lived outside the central power. After surfing and fishing, hiking Taghazout is now available!
