The surf spots around mirleft are mainly beach breaks, but some amazing point breaks are to discover in some of the hidden coves around the area.  That is the reason why Jeff Hackman, the co founder of quicksilver and the amazing Australian multibilionair surfer settled in this region. Great Moroccan waves and surf. Good good, and almost no one out
