Overview

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.
