On Morocco's Atlantic coast between Agadir and Essaouira, Imsouane is a fishing port in the Souss-Massa region, and its rural commune counted 7,246 residents in the 2024 census. Surf is the draw, split between two breaks: La Bay, a long point break that works best at low to mid tide and suits beginners and longboarders, and La Cathedrale, a more exposed beach break that fires on a northwest swell for confident intermediate and advanced surfers. Workspace is thin, limited to surf camps and hostels, several of which list a coworking space.
