La Source
A reef right next to a freshwater spring, north of Taghazout.
La Source is named after a freshwater spring that rises next to the beach. It's a reef right that works at mid to high tide and is usually a little less crowded than the most famous points.
It's an option when Killer Point or Anchor Point are packed.
