Why it's worth your time
Ifafa is a quiet, low-key coastal village defined by its river mouth and unpretentious atmosphere. It offers a raw, stripped-back alternative to the busier, commercialized hubs further south.
What we love
The sense of isolation at the river mouth is rare for this stretch of the coast.
What to know
There are no permanent lifeguard services here, so exercise extreme caution if you decide to enter the water.
