What makes a good sunset in Essaouira?
Essaouira is a whitewashed walled city on the Moroccan Atlantic coast, facing due west with open ocean to the horizon. The Skala de la Ville sea bastions are the classic sunset spot: 18th-century cannons lined up on the rampart wall with the Atlantic beyond and the sun dropping straight into the water. The beach south of town is wide, flat, and unobstructed, giving clean shots with the city walls as a backdrop. The constant wind keeps the air exceptionally clear, which is why Essaouira scores reliably well for sunset conditions.
What time is sunset in Essaouira tonight?
Essaouira sunset ranges from around 5:50 PM in December to 8:30 PM in June. Tonight's exact time is shown in the score card above, updated daily from live weather data.
