Overview

Asilah is a charming walled coastal town about 40 km south of Tangier on the Atlantic coast. The town beach offers kitesurfing potential with NE trade wind. Less documented as a dedicated kite spot but rideable when wind conditions align.

The town itself is a beautiful destination with a whitewashed medina, art murals, and a relaxed seaside atmosphere. Good base for exploring Tahaddart lagoon (8 km north).
