The Pogues arrive in Essaouira in the Outer Banks Season 4 finale before Season 5.
Essaouira is a coastal city in Morocco and serves as one of the locations in the Season 4 finale. The group reaches the city during its pursuit of the Blue Crown and encounters police trouble after stealing food for Sarah.
The city is easy to confuse with Casablanca or Marrakesh because all are well-known Moroccan destinations. However, the episode specifically names Essaouira as the Pogues’ arrival point.
The Morocco storyline sets up Season 5’s opening circumstances. The Pogues are still far from home, while Chandler Groff remains connected to the Blue Crown and the group’s revenge mission.
