Sidi Ifni
The former Spanish town in the south, with rock waves in front of its art deco architecture.
Sidi Ifni, a Spanish province until 1969, still has art deco buildings facing the sea. It has waves over rock and sand in the middle of the beach, which work at mid to high tide.
Before paddling out, check the water quality near the outfalls and the currents.
