Amazingly long beaches, the sun setting into the ocean, and long canters and gallops. Riding on the beach in Morocco is basically any horse rider’s dream come true and gives you an amazing sense of freedom.
There are several rides, from 1 hour to full day, and from sunset rides to multi day treks. I went on a sunset ride, 1 hour ride and 2 long rides of about 4 to 5 hours.

Long rides include either lunch or Moroccan tea depending on how many hours you’re riding for. The location where lunch or tea is served is absolutely stunning, on the top of a dune at a fisherman’s hut overlooking the beach and sea.

It’s quite far from the busy tourist beach near the town of Essaouira and makes you feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere. The rides also take you to different types of terrain. Of course you’ll be doing lots of riding on the beach, but also in the surrounding forests, dunes, and you even get to a mini desert on the full day ride with dunes up to 15 meters high right next to the ocean.

The sunset ride is also an absolutely stunning and popular ride as the sun sets perfectly into the ocean as you’re galloping home on the beach. There are also several multi-day tours a year, and you can add onto a group if you’re a solo traveler, or you can get your own group together for a multi day horse ride through the stunning Moroccan nature. If you are a solo traveler but aren’t able to join a group or get one together, make sure to contact us! I would be more than happy to help out in getting a group together.
