The setting is almost picturesque, A fishing harbour, a lighthouse a bit out into the sea, and a long deserted beach south of the town. There are not much more than a handful of people who live here, with an income from either bureaucracy, fishing, and serving the needs of all the people passing through on the long strech between Laayoune and Dakhla. Boujdour's centre is not all that bad, with modern, if standard Moroccan houses in white and with balconies and colonnades along the ground floor.
