Banana Beach is the long beach between Aourir and Tamraght, where the river meets the sea. The waves are small and soft most of the time, and it's one of the main beaches for lessons in the area.

It works best around high tide. Watch out for rips near the river mouth, especially after rain.

It's where most surf camps in Tamraght and Aourir bring their beginners, so the inside can be busy with lessons. On bigger days, Banana Point, at the river mouth, has longer rides for improvers.
