What to Do in Tarfaya — 8 Must-Do Activities

From Saharan dunes to Atlantic kitesurfing, artisan fishing and the Saint-Exupéry memorial — here are the 8 activities you cannot miss.

1. Visit the Saint-Exupéry Memorial

First unmissable stop: the memorial dedicated to the author of The Little Prince. The restored Aéropostale hangar houses a fascinating museum on the Toulouse-Dakar line.

2. Explore the Spanish Fort (Ksar Eddakhla)

The 19th-century Spanish fortress still dominates the bay. Its thick walls have resisted Atlantic winds for centuries. Perfect for photography at sunset.

3. Kitesurfing and Windsurfing

Tarfaya has quickly become a recognized kitesurfing spot. Constant winds and the bay's shallow waters make it ideal for beginners and experienced riders alike.

4. Artisan Fishing Trip

Join local fishermen before dawn for an authentic Atlantic experience. Tarfaya's waters are among Morocco's most fish-rich, thanks to the cold Canaries current.

5. 4×4 Dune Expedition

The Saharan dunes that plunge directly into the Atlantic are unique in the world. A 4×4 excursion takes you into the heart of this lunar landscape.

6. Migratory Bird Watching

Tarfaya is a major stopover on the Europe-Africa migratory route. From October to March, thousands of flamingos, ibis and herons stop in the coastal lagoons.
