Devil’s Rock/Imourane – Best All-Round Beach in Tamraght

Devil’s Rock (known locally as Imourane) is best for the atmosphere. As one of the most consistent surf breaks in the region, it’s super popular for surf schools. Most days, you will find the small beach dotted with colourful umbrellas; each branded with logos from the local surf camps. Stoked beginner surfers laze on the sand after catching their first solo waves; occasionally rousing themselves from their slumbers for a game of beach volleyball.

But there’s more to Devil’s Rock than just the surf. It’s a beautiful human circus. You’ll find foreigners practising acroyoga on the sand. Locals wandering the exposed reef further south of the beach, perusing shells and sea life. Children playing among the rocks, delighted by the precariousness of the little waves on the shoreline. And without fail, the local dog gangs will be there patrolling the beach in search of a pat or a spot of shade.

If you’re after a little shade yourself, there are beach umbrellas and sunbeds available for hire. Just 20dh (€2) for each bed or brolly, for the whole day. L’humdulilah.

Of the three main beaches in Tamraght, you will only find restaurants at Devil’s Rock. I think they add to the full-vacation mood of the beach. The smell of freshly grilled fish wafting down to the sand, and sun-dazed travellers climbing up the stairs for a post-surf smoothie. It’s always a holiday.

Devil’s Rock Folklore

This is a true story; it happened to a friend of a friend of mine. Nah, but there is some interesting folklore behind Devil’s Rock that I’ve pieced together from a few locals. Don’t hold me to the facts.

Supposedly, the large rock looming out of the water offers good fortune for those wishing to find love and marriage. Women lusting for a lover visit the cave at the end of the rock, cast out their wishes and allow themselves to get splashed by seven incoming waves. I can’t verify the potency of this magic, but I’ve definitely witnessed more than a few young surf instructors trying to cash in on Cupid’s tricks.

Crocos – Spacious & great for Long Walks

Crocos is Devil’s Rock’s northern neighbour. It’s the longest of the beaches in Tamraght, with a boardwalk above that stretches all the way to Panorama Point in Taghazout. The stroll between the two villages is super pleasant; accessible for bikes and prams; and takes about 45 minutes on foot.

As with most beaches in Tamraght, you will never be left wanting at Crocros. Local vendors patrol the long sandy beach with urns of tea and coffee; trays of doughnuts and pastries; bags of sweet and spiced nuts; and occasionally an esky full of icecreams. Make it a habit to always have a couple of dirhams on hand.

Take a stroll down the beach and you can expect an offer for a ‘Moroccan taxi’: cowboys on horses and Berber men on camels advertising rides along the sand. If that’s not your cup of tea, a simple ‘Lla, shukran,’ will suffice.

In summer, Crocos fills up with Moroccan families who travel to the coast for some much-needed beach days. From the early hours until sunset, all generations gather with their beach tents and elaborate picnics. Hot coals for tagines and mint tea, khobz and pastries, and all the staples of Moroccan cuisine. Truly milking the long, hot, languid days.

Crocos is named thus, as from this spot the distant view of the northern headline takes the shape of a large crocodile lying down. Don’t fret, there are no reptilian friends frequenting the waters.

Banana Point – Scenic Surf Spot

Banana Point more rightfully belongs to the village of Aourir, but it’s only a short walk away, so I’m lumping it in with the beaches in Tamraght nonetheless. Don’t expect to find a tropical fruit-laden beach. Banana Point is an offshoot of Banana Village (locally known as Aourir), of which there are an abundance of banana plantations.

Whilst there are no cafes or restaurants at Banana Point, as long as the surf is good, the tea vendors will be there to offer you a cuppa. BYO bananas. You can also find coffee vans parked up above the cliff during the day.

Banana Point feels the most wild of the beaches in Tamraght. It’s a little more secluded, a little less developed. As such, it’s a popular spot for camel rides and quad bike hire. Tours operate along the (predominantly dry) Aourir river and down the long stretch of beach.

The beach is quite pebbly, with lots of rocks in the shallow waters. It requires a little fancy footwork when wading into the water. So perhaps not the best option if you’re seeking a leisurely swim.

Banana Point is one of my favourite sunset spots in Tamraght. You can perch up on the cliff and watch the silky right-handers roll into shore. With flocks of gulls dancing and twirling in the wind above. Pretttty magic.

How to Get to These Beaches:
All three beaches are walkable from central Tamraght. Devil’s Rock is the easiest to access, while Crocos and Banana Point sit on either end of the village and may require a short drive or scooter ride.

When you’re all beached out, I highly recommend checking out one of the hammams in Tamraght. Your skin will thank you.
