Miles and miles of beautiful beach walks
Many people visit Kasbah d’Eau for the walking. The favourite is a 2 hour trek down along the coast to where a lava formation has created a series of waterfall almost on to the beach. Turn in the opposite direction and you head towards the massive dunes and light house of Cap Sim, passing through a traditional fishing village. Finally it is also recommended to turn your back on the sea and go inland through the villages that dot the hillside. Whichever direction you choose there are no roads and you are very unlikely to see other tourists. All the walking can be done unaccompanied but guides and picnic lunches can also be provided.
Sidi Kaouki has long been known as a watersports paradise with surfing dominating the winter months and kitesurfing and windsurfing in the windier summer months although all 3 sports can practised all year round.

Kasbah d'Eau is in the village of Sidi Kaouki, 10 miles (16km) south of Essaouira, one of the prettiest towns in Morocco, with its ramparts and medina full of traditional shops, great bars and wonderful restaurants. The beach is the main attraction with surfing, windsurfing and kitesurfing for the adrenalin junkies, horseback and camel rides to explore the area, and quadbike tours to get into the dunes and down the coast. It is also a place beloved by runners and walkers - the immediate beach is 1.5 miles (2.5km) in length and then miles more beyond that - even at the busiest times finding calm and solitude is never an issue. Essaouira is a 25-minute taxi ride away (around £10/€12 each way) and it is easy to pop in for an afternoon shopping in the medina, or an evening in one of the wonderful restaurants. Essaouira's international airport is 15 minutes away, and Marrakech is 3 hours by taxi (or bus from Essaouira) for connections all over the world.
