Sunset Horseback Riding on Essaouira Beach

Activity Overview
Overview #
Trade the desert dunes for the open Atlantic on this unforgettable horseback ride along the beaches of Essaouira. As the fortified city’s white-and-blue medina fades into the distance, you’ll trot along miles of open sand with the ocean breeze in your hair and the sun dipping toward the horizon.
Our horses are calm, well-cared-for, and used to riders of every level, so you can relax and enjoy the scenery whether it’s your first time in the saddle or your hundredth.
What to Expect #
Your guide will meet you near the beach, fit you with a helmet, and give a short safety briefing before setting off. The ride follows the shoreline past fishing boats, dunes, and the historic Skala ramparts, with plenty of stops for photos along the way. It’s a peaceful, scenic experience that pairs perfectly with a day trip to Essaouira.
