Dakhla occupies a long peninsula between the Atlantic Ocean and the desert. Its vast turquoise lagoon, sparsely developed beaches, and Saharan landscapes make it a very different destination from the major tourist cities in the north of the country.
The region is particularly renowned for kitesurfing , windsurfing, and surfing. The spots at PK25, Foum El Bouir, and Pointe du Dragon attract both beginners and experienced surfers. Other well-known natural sites include the White Dune , the vast Atlantic beaches, and the desert landscapes surrounding the lagoon.
Dakhla also offers the opportunity to alternate between water sports, fishing, 4x4 excursions, and exploring the desert. Heading north along the coast, Laâyoune is another important stop in the Atlantic Sahara.
