What Is Surf Berbere and What Does the Taghazout Surf Camp Offer?

Updated

Surf Berbere is a seafront surf camp and surf school in Taghazout, Morocco—a small fishing village known for its surf spots and year-round sunshine. The camp sits right on Hash Point in the heart of the village. It offers surf lessons for beginners, surf guiding for experienced surfers, surf-and-yoga holidays, on-site food and yoga, apartment rentals for independent groups and families, and twice-yearly surf instructor courses.

Who the camp is for

The camp serves two main groups, and the choice of package depends on which one you're in:

  • Beginners with less than 4 weeks of surfing experience. The surf school packages are built for this group, with full-day coaching and all kit hire included.
  • Experienced surfers. Instead of lessons, these guests get surf guiding—vans take surfers of all levels out daily to the best spots in the area, including the right-hand point breaks Taghazout is known for.

If you're traveling with a group or family that wants more independence, apartment rentals are available as an alternative to the camp stay.

What a typical stay looks like

The camp runs vans out every day, so guests at any level get time in the water—beginners in full-day coaching, experienced surfers guided to the best local breaks. Yoga classes run daily in the waterfront studio, and meals come from the on-site cafe. The camp describes itself as Taghazout's favourite surf camp, having built that reputation over years of operation.

Taghazout itself is a sleepy fishing village, and the camp's location on the seafront means the surf is essentially at the doorstep.

How to choose

  • Never surfed, or surfed only a few times? Start with the Surf School Package for structured coaching and everything included, or the Surf & Yoga Package if you also want daily yoga.
  • Comfortable in the water and chasing good waves? Ask about surf guiding rather than lessons.
  • Want to make surfing a career? The 4-week instructor course covers qualification, accommodation, kit, and coaching.
  • Traveling as a family or group? The apartment rentals give you a base while still being near the camp's facilities.

If none of the listed packages fit, the camp invites direct inquiries to put together a custom stay. Details on current prices and booking terms aren't specified on the site, so confirm those directly with Surf Berbere before committing.
