Crocs sits between Devil's Rock and Banana Village and is the standard beginner alternative when Banana Point is crowded.
The wave
A wide sandy beach with peaks that move through the season. Long-established Taghazout camps group it with Roches Diables and Panoramas as the easy beach breaks of the area, and that is exactly how it tends to be used.
It suits complete beginners on a small day and improvers on anything bigger. Being a beach break rather than a point, the peak is not fixed, so you look before you paddle out.
Finding the peak
Walk the sand for a minute and watch where waves consistently stand up and peel rather than closing out along their whole length. At Banana the school picks your spot; here you learn to read a beach yourself, and that skill transfers everywhere you ever surf.
Why it stays quieter
It is a short drive rather than a walk from the villages, and that small amount of friction keeps most schools away. On a morning when Banana Point has several groups in the water, Crocs often has one or none.
The name
Written as Crocs, Crocos and Croco Beach depending on which camp or guide you read. All the same place.
