Just a 2.5-hour drive from Marrakech, Essaouira is a refreshing Atlantic escape. Walk along the ramparts of the 18th-century port city, explore its UNESCO-listed medina filled with art galleries and cafés, and watch fishermen bring in their daily catch. Enjoy freshly grilled seafood by the sea and stroll the breezy beach, where windsurfers dance with the waves. Essaouira combines history, culture, and ocean views in a perfect coastal day trip.
