General Tips: The Fishing Harbour

Favorite Thing: The fishing harbour seems to be the hub of Essaouira's economy. It is a bustling place, full of blue fishing boats, fishermen mending nets, repairing boats, selling their catch etc. It is very picturesque and when I was there some French artists were painting watercolours of the scene.

General Tips: Seafood

Favorite Thing: Essaouira is a great place for every type of seafood, ranging for sardines to lobsters. I must say I never rated sardines much until I came here, but the ones served at Chez Sam are delicious.
You can see the fishing boats bringing in their catch in the harbour, then see it being sold in the fish souk and, finally, go to one of the fish grill foodstalls or restaurants to eat it.

General Tips: The Beach
|
Tip Rating: |

|
Favorite Thing: Essaouira has two beaches: one to the north of town and one to the south, but it is the southern beach wich is the biggest and the one which is lined with hotels. In the daytime it is dotted with French tourists, sunbathing while in the evenings it is full of locals playing football.
There are strong winds here and the sea is fairly rough, so it is not ideal for swimming.

Favorite Thing: Essaouira's Medina, with its beautiful streets and souks, is a place you will often find yourself wandering through, usually along the main street, which runs north, all the way through the old city, from the Clocktower to Bab Doukkala. The southern half is called Avenue D'Istiglal, while the northern half is named Avenue Mohammed Zerktouni.

Hi, Did you see the tree inside the Ensemble Artisanal ? Its not to be missed. | JLBG Mon Apr 2, 2007 05:46 UTC
An excellent page, with beautiful photos on this fascinating city! On my last visit, I did not see the Orson Welles Square! As an independent traveller, I ignored everything of Jimmy Hendrickx in Essaouira, haha! | freddie18 Tue Mar 6, 2007 03:00 UTC
I always like Morocco. The more I am eager to visit the country when I came across your tips of Essaouira. No matter what, I will be in this country sooner than later. Thanks Ian. |
