Overview

Oued Laou (48 kilometers southeast of Tetouan) is a budget-friendly Mediterranean beach town with bags of laid-back charm. The beach may be mostly shingle rather than sand, so it's better for strolling and swimming rather than slothing out, but colorful fishing boats bob in the sparkling blue water, and either side of the gentle curve of bay are craggy cliffs, good for hiking and scrambling.
