Kenitra was the birthplace of surfing in Morocco
Kenitra, is one of the closest "surfable" beaches to Rabat and Casablanca. If you have to fly in and out to Morocco and do not have much time or if you're just visiting these major Moroccan cities, than you want to head up to Kenitra and catch some waves over there.
Formerly known as Port Lyautey, is a small city in Sebou river mouth with a very narrow relation with the Atlantic. Since its foundation by the Phoenicians, this place has always had a big military importance. This strategic gateway to the Atlantic was occupied also by Romans, Portuguese, Spanish, French and lately by Americans till the 90’s.
It was precisely the American troopers stationed here that started to surf the first waves in Morocco in the 60’s. This is why Kenitra is considered the birthplace of surfing in Morocco. The city lost its military importance and nowadays is a fishing village and a great surf destination.
At Kenitra Surf Camp you'll find a cosy atmosphere and lifestyle: the surf spirit, enjoy simple pleasures, meetings new people, sharing stories, respect and love for nature. This is the right place to experience all this just 2 minutes from the beach!
Surfing in Kenitra is just one step away if you’re living in Europe. Many direct flights connect Rabat or Casablanca every day! This is one of the best spots to learn to surf or improve surfing skills in warm Morocco.
