A change of pace by the water
A coastal escape is even better when the schedule leaves time for the harbour, the sea air, and one more walk.
Essaouira invites you to slow down. The harbour, ocean air, and walkable old town make it a natural change of pace after time in a larger city.
Start near the harbour
Give yourself a little time to walk by the water and take in the boats and sea breeze. The best way to experience the area is often to arrive without a long list of stops.
Keep your car parked while exploring on foot, and check the local parking options when you arrive.
Take the scenic route between towns
The drive can be part of the escape. Set aside enough time for a comfortable trip, check your route in advance, and take breaks whenever you need them.
If you are travelling between cities, confirm your pickup and return locations and dates before setting off.
Leave time for one more stroll
Before heading back, take one last walk and let the day wind down naturally. A little breathing room is often what makes a short escape memorable.
