72 TRAVEL ADVERTORIAL
Dakhla, Morocco
Home to some of the world’s most reliable
and exciting windsurfing spots,
magnificent Morocco should top the list of
places to visit on your next holiday.
Morocco is a great year-round windsurfing holiday
destination that offers an attractive combination of
sunshine, waves, lagoons and super reliable wind.
The small trading town of Dakhla in Southern Morocco,
located on a thin peninsula of the Atlantic coast, is your
gateway to the world’s most stunning and perfect windsurf
lagoon. Although this is a true year around windsurf
destination, the very best time is from March to November.
For waves on the Atlantic side, Spring and Autumn are best.
Dakhla has become a kitesurf mecca in recent years, with a
number of kite camps springing up around the lagoon. However,
there is still one camp with a big focus on windsurfing, and
luckily it is one of our favourites – Ocean Vagabond.
This small boutique style camp is just steps away from the
lagoon with the windsurf centre right on site. This spot is the
perfect place to learn to windsurf or hone your freestyle and
blasting skills, thanks to the side shore winds and butter flat
water. Depending on the tides, there is also a long shallow
water area right in front of the centre. The lagoon is
enormous so you can launch either directly in front of your

accommodation, or hitch a ride on the rescue boat to one of
the many other spots around the lagoon. For more
advanced windsurfers a visit to one of the wave spots offers
2-4 metre peeling waves with side to side-offshore wind.
UK visitors to Morocco will be extremely happy with the
unbelievable value for money when travelling through this
country. The exchange rate makes it possible for tourists to
get way more for their money than in other
destinations. Dakhla is simply an amazing place to get away
from it all, escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life
and spend some real down time relaxing and windsurfing!
