Open to any ideas have done wild and campsite and 5 star hotels and every thing in between over the last 10 years / 6 trips
its just that the list of recommended places to stay on the Forum is not specific as inland , coastal , mountain and desert all in one list

Just looking at ideas for interesting places to stay by the sea Hotels / Auberge / Wild Camp / Camp site

Thank
Maurice

Although I must stress that I have not yet done it

I have been reccomended, like the look of, and will be stopping at Sidi Ifni for a couple of days in a month or so. It looks of architectural inerest, well serviced and with lots of campsites close to the beach.

I do belive Mr Cullis is a great fan!

Its fairly far south of the Maroc of old, but easy to get to. I will give a reiview in a month!

Sidi Ifni is a great little town, and getting better every year.
There are caves all along the coast south from Agadir, must be thousands. Inhabited by fishermen, hippies and troglodytes. You could go to Massa or Sidi Rabat and ask, there are caves you can rent and they will probably make tagine and breakfast for you for a decent price.

Kids like it
Free parking

One thing, watch out for high winds and tide.

Also, on the north end of the Sous Massa N.P. there is Tifnit, one of the nicer looking fishing villages in Morocco.

This is where most of the Saharan ungulates of the Park can be seen, Scimitar Oryx, Addax, Dama gazelle and Dorcas gazelle.
Tifnit is to be erased I hear, and be replaced by a fishing port and highrise hotels.
You can stay here but it is spooky after dark. No electricity, barking dogs.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
