5. Oualidia
Pretty little Oualidia wraps around a sheltered lagoon making the water here much calmer than in other resorts straddling the Atlantic Coast. It’s a top spot for swimming and a good, safe choice for kids who like to get in the water. The crescent-shaped, golden-sand bay is a popular holiday destination for Moroccan families, and during July and August weekends it can seem like half of Casablanca (176 kilometers to the north) has decamped here for a day at the beach. Come outside of this peak season, though, and you could have much of the sand to yourself.
6. Moulay Bousselham
The curving, sandy spit of Moulay Bousselham lies right at the tip of town and buzzes with crowds of local vacationers during August. Despite its popularity, it’s important to note that the beach is better for sun lounging than for a dip in the sea. Swimmers need to be careful, as the coast here is known for powerful riptides.
