The wind off the Atlantic lifts curtains of sand as you crest the first dune at Timlaline — the ocean a blue slash below, the canyon mouths cut into ochre cliffs. By late afternoon the light sharpens: footprints, ripples, and the steely surface of compacted sand where a sandboard will carry you down in short, satisfying runs.

History
The coastal strip between Agadir and Imsouane has long been shaped by Amazigh fishing and small-scale agriculture; natural routes through the canyons served local movement and seasonal grazing.
Conservation
Dunes are sensitive to trampling and erosion—stay on established paths, avoid removing plants, and pack out all trash to protect the fragile coastal ecosystem.

Bring a refillable water bottle
Carry at least 1–2 liters; coastal winds and sandboard sessions dehydrate you faster than you expect.
Choose sturdy, sand-friendly footwear
Closed-toe trail shoes or old sneakers keep sand out and provide traction for dune climbs and canyon scrambles.
Protect electronics from sand
Use a dry bag or sealable plastic bag for cameras and phones — fine sand ruins ports and lenses quickly.
Dress in layers and bring a wind layer
Temperatures drop after sunset and coastal gusts can be strong; a light windbreaker is useful for the dinner on the dunes.
