Endless point breaks, yoga decks, and sunset surf sessions — Morocco's barefoot surf capital.
Taghazout is Morocco's surf capital — a former fishing village turned laid-back nomad and surfer hub on the Atlantic. Consistent waves, sunny winters, cheap living, and a growing co-working/yoga scene make it a magnet for remote workers chasing swell. It's small and increasingly developed, water and infrastructure can be patchy, and it can feel like a bubble disconnected from real Morocco. Ideal for surfers who work remotely.

Not for
A friendly, transient mix of surfers, yoga teachers, and digital nomads; the small size means you meet everyone fast, and surf camps and co-works make connection effortless. Nightlife is mellow — sunset beers and bonfires, not parties.
