Mirleft
Spend 1‑2 days in Mirleft: a day for beaches, surf and kasbah, plus a night if you want local lodging.
Mirleft is a tiny coastal village in the Anti‑Atlas, 30 min south of Tiznit. Its main draws are the long sandy beaches, surf spots, a historic kasbah and a relaxed souk. All sights lie within a 30‑minute walk, so a single day covers the highlights; an extra night lets you enjoy sunset horse rides or surf lessons without rush.
