A photogenic beach south of Mirleft framed by two giant red-sandstone sea arches, with open-ocean beach break peaks over sand and a shapely left-hand reef-peak on the north headland. It is the most reliable spot on the wild Southern (Souss-Atlantic) coast and picks up any west swell, but is remote and exposed: no surf infrastructure, cold upwelled water, and the nearest town is 5 km inland. The setting is the reason to go.
