Imsouane.
The road drops steeply off the N1 cliffline into a salt-bleached curve of Atlantic sand. You smell burning eucalyptus charcoal and diesel before you see the water. Blue wooden dories scrape up the concrete ramp at noon, dumping dogfish, sardines, and spider crabs onto wet stone. Out in the bay, a single peeling wave rolls for seven hundred meters across the sandbar. It is a slow, working village that lives on tides, hot mint tea, and wet neoprene.
