Peninsula · Kitesurf frontier
Dakhla
Book the lagoon kitesurf package — the wind is so consistent the schools guarantee progression.
Where the Sahara meets the Atlantic, Dakhla sits on a thin peninsula lashed by one of the world's most reliable kitesurfing winds. Lagoon on one side, open ocean on the other, oysters farmed in between. It is remote, otherworldly, and worth every hour on the road south.
A short history
Dakhla grew from a southern Atlantic outpost into Morocco's great lagoon base: a long peninsula, fishing harbour, oyster farms, and wind-swept camps opening toward desert dunes and turquoise water.
