Île de Mogador
Just off the coast to the southwest is the Île de Mogador, which has some interesting structures. It's actually two islands and several tiny islets - also known as the famed Îles Purpuraires (Purple Isles) of antiquity. The uninhabited islands are a sanctuary for Eleanora's falcons, which can also be easily seen through binoculars from Essaouira beach.

Skala du Port
Down by the harbour, the Skala du Port offers cannons and fantastic picturesque views over the fishing port and the Île de Mogador. From here you can also look back at the walled medina amidst the wheeling seagulls, and capture the same picture you see on nearly all the official literature.
