Camel Point
Camel Point takes its name from a distinctive camel-shaped rock formation visible from the lineup. The wave is a fun, peaky beach break that works on a variety of conditions. Popular with the surf camp crowd from nearby Essaouira, it offers consistent waves without the crowds of the more famous Taghazout points.
