Cafe Aftas

Mint tea, coffee and omelettes combine with up close and personal views of Aftas Beach at this fun spot with a funky beach-shack ambience. Colourful murals and the easygoing vibe of owner Najib create one of Morocco's most laid-back cafes. He can also hook you up with surfing lessons through his Chasseurs de Vagues surf school.
