Before visiting Morocco for the first time: Wait, there’s another surf town near Taghazout? You’ve probably heard about Taghazout a million times, but Tamraght? Not so much—or at least I hadn’t. Yet somehow, this quiet little village is quickly becoming a go-to surf destination.
Tucked away on the southwest coast of Morocco, Blue Mind is the ultimate getaway for a week of laughter, surf sessions, grounding yoga classes, amazing people, and enough good Moroccan food and tea to keep you going for days.
Yoga That Ends with a Sunrise or Sunset
Let’s start with the Yoga: Energizing or Restorative Yoga either in the early morning or at sunset is perfect for reconnecting with yourself. This serene practice not only relaxes the body but also taps into the powerful concept of the blue mind, fostering inner peace and positivity.
Surf for Every Level
Tamraght is a haven for surfers of all levels. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned wave rider, the expert team at Blue Mind—Jamal, Nordin, and Ayoub—will guide you to the best spots.
The village is surrounded by legendary surf breaks:
- Devil’s Rock
- K11 and K12 (reachable on foot)
- Anza, a short drive away, offers dreamy point breaks and beginner-friendly beach waves.
It’s a true surf buffet with something for everyone.
A Culinary Delight: Fresh, Homemade Moroccan Cuisine
At Blue Mind, every meal is a celebration of Moroccan flavors:
- Breakfast: Enjoy fresh waffles, local dishes, and vibrant fruit spreads.
- Lunch: Ready and waiting after your surf sessions—fresh, homemade, and satisfying.
- Dinner: Lovingly prepared by Fatima, offering hearty meals with vegetarian options available.
Chill Village Vibes
Tamraght offers a quieter, more authentic vibe compared to bustling Taghazout. Discover cozy cafés like:
- Hey Yallah: Perfect for Sunday markets.
- Daydream: A café-meets-handcraft-shop gem.
Savor local flavors at:
- Le Petit Kawa and Timam du Chef, featuring tajines, Berber omelettes, and creamy avocado juice.
Pro tip: Grab a pizza from Timam du Chef and head to Devil’s Rock for a magical sunset dinner. Trust me on this one.
Explore Beyond the Waves
When you’re ready to explore, there’s plenty to do:
- Go on a day trip and visit Paradise Valley for natural pools and cliff jumping
- Stop at an Argan oil craftery along the way
- Experience the mesmerizing sand dunes at unsforgettable sunsets
- Shop at the vibrant Agadir Souk for local treasures and fresh produce
A Place That Feels Like Home
What really makes Blue Mind special is the people. From the instructors to the kitchen staff, everyone goes out of their way to create a chilled, welcoming atmosphere. It’s the kind of place where you arrive as a guest and leave feeling like part of the family.
So if you’re looking for your next surf trip, skip the Taghazout crowds and head to Tamraght. Between the waves, the sunsets, and the endless mint tea, you might never want to leave. 😉
