Day trip from marrakech to Essaouira

This whitewashed, laidback town on the Atlantic Coast is a perfect escape when the pace of Marrakech gets too much. Wander through the souks and pick up some Moroccan goodies. Enjoy a coffee on the famous Place Moulay Hassan or the iconic Patisserie Driss. Stroll along the beach as the sun sets, and feast on fresh seafood sold at the bustling fish market as the numerous fishing boats return to shore.
