Why Taghazout, Morocco?
Taghazout, Morocco is a popular destination for beginner surfers because it is located on the northern tip of Africa, its climate is inviting and warm and the waves suit all abilities. What’s even better is that the swell arrives right in the middle of Europe’s winter, making Morocco the best winter surf escape for European beginners!
You can grab return flights for as little as £50 and Moroccan food is much more affordable than European prices and delicious!
