The 200km drive from Tan Tan Plage to Tarfaya initially takes you along a monotonous stretch
of desert highway. The road is good and the traffic relatively light.
Along the route you’ll see anglers’ huts perched on the cliff-tops (many of the anglers sell
their catch by the roadside) and occasionally herds of camels wandering slowly through the
hammada . Sidi Akhfennir, 95km southwest of Tan Tan Plage, is a good place to stop, either at
one of the garages or at a cafe serving grilled fish straight from the sea.
Accommodation options include the family-run Auberge Pêche et Loisirs ( 0661 21 19
83; http://peche.sudmaroc.free.fr, in French; per person incl half-board Dh350) , which has
clean, restful rooms with a shared bathroom. The owner is passionate about fishing, and
organises trips on the nearby Naïla Lagoon or the ocean.
South of Sidi Akhfennir the drive becomes extremely scenic, with wild, untouched Atlantic
beaches and ochre dunes rolling away into the distance or lapping on to the road. The route
passes through the Khenifiss National Park , where you can see flamingos on the Naïla
Lagoon.
