We drove on south along the N1, with only one road, at least navigation couldn’t be simpler.
We were surprised to find a beach resort called Rio del Mar with such a nice, well-equipped apartment in the middle of the desert. The manager spoke excellent French & English and told us he was the only one on site, responsible 24/7 for everything relating to the 6 apartments, which seemed a pretty demanding and lonely role, especially in the quiet low season.
On a nearby beach we found an eerie beached rusting ship and did some good old cheesy sand writing.
We continued along the coastline to Boujdour, quite a bustling little town which has clearly had quite a lot of recent investment.
This beach promenade with fancy paving, lighting and palm trees stretched for at least a mile and was completely deserted. 
Something that was really noticeable in all of the towns we visited in Western Sahara was that there were loads of cafes, but barely any women customers, so it was sometimes a bit uncomfortable being the only woman.
In Boujdour we attracted a bit of attention from school kids – staring, giggling and trying out some French or English phrases.

Hey my lovelies
Enjoy the best starlight nights – did a trip across desert about 20 years ago and just loved those nights. Loving the blog Zoe x
We’ve been too busy eating to look up at the sky, but will do so tonight 😆
What is the temperature at night?
Hi Pauline, considering we’re in the desert, it’s a bit chilly 1st thing & once the sun goes down, only about 10-12•C, but warms up to about 20-22 during the day. Zxxx
