This stretch of coast has long supported Berber fishing communities; local villages like Taghazout evolved around surf and small-scale fisheries while dunes formed from centuries of Atlantic sediment transport.
Conservation
Coastal dunes are fragile — stick to established paths, avoid trampling vegetation that anchors sand, and pack out all trash to limit erosion and protect habitat.
