Getting There & Around

How to Get to Cape Chaunar

Access is by road from the regional centres of Guelmim and Sidi Ifni; distances here are long and services sparse, so plan logistics and fuel carefully.

Tips for Visiting Cape Chaunar

  • If travelling overland from the north, plan for long desert drives and limited services; fuel up carefully.
  • Bring layered clothing: coastal nights can be cool while daytime desert heat is intense.
  • Respect local coastal communities and avoid driving too close to sensitive dune areas.
