AGLOU-MOROCCO
Aglou Plage, 15km from Tiznit, is a long
beach with good surf, but the strong undertow
makes it dangerous for swimming most
of the time. When Atlantic winds start blustering,
it’s a wild and woolly sort of place.
It is still pretty undeveloped, with a raised
walkway and behind it some seafront cafés,
the best being
Idou Aglou an offshoot of the Tiznit hotel, which
serves snacks and a full
restaurant menu. If you want to stay, Le
Chant du Chameau is a delightful
French-Moroccan-run guest house
at the south end of Aglou beach. A rust-red
house, some fantasy tents, and a dramatic
view of the beach and sea, they also offer excursions
in the area and a weeklong course
in tadelakt, the local plaster-work.
