Mysteries
A short reef right between Killer Point and Anchor Point.
Mysteries lies between Killer Point and Anchor Point, north of Taghazout village. It's a shorter, more accessible right than its neighbours, over a rock bottom, that works at mid to high tide.
It fills with surf camps when the big points aren't working.
