After about an hour there is time for a brief pause and a chance to dismount, when it’s wise to have a drink, which we suggest you carry in a backpack. After this the trek begins again returning back along the beach with the view of Essaouira in front of you.
On the return there is an opportunity to pause to observe the crumbling remains of a 16th century Portuguese fort, which is inaccessible as it lies surrounded by the ocean some 200 feet offshore. A path alongside the river is the route back to the ranch.
