Pointe de L'Or
A rocky point roughly 35km from Dakhla town that bends Atlantic swell into a small, semi-protected bay, producing small-to-medium waves for intermediate-to-advanced wave riders. It sits directly across the peninsula from the lagoon camps, giving a wave-riding alternative to Dakhla's flat-water lagoon.
