Banana Point
Banana Point is named for the banana plantation that once stood nearby. The wave is a gentle, mellow right that's perfect for longboarding and learning. It picks up less swell than the main Taghazout points, making it a great option on bigger days when other spots are maxing out. The long, easy walls and forgiving nature make it popular with beginners and longboarders alike.
