The wave
Killer Point is a right point about a kilometre north of Anchor Point, named after the orcas that locals say were seen offshore. It breaks further out than the other Taghazout points and handles bigger swells.
The walk or drive along the dirt track keeps the crowd down, and it's rarely busy. At low tide you can reach it through a cave in the cliff, but check the tide before you go in so you're not cut off on the way back. It works at all stages of the tide, and the north wind is partly blocked here.
