Morocco has many wonderful beaches to explore, which makes this beautiful country a popular destination in the summer. Next, you will discover 6 of the most beautiful beaches in Morocco.
Saidia Beach, Saidia
Saidia is a city that is located near the Algerian border in the north of Morocco, and it is a charming city on the Mediterranean sea featuring one of the most beautiful beaches in Morocco. This city is mostly busy in the summer when tourists flock to here for a fun vacation on the beach.
Legzira beach, Sidi Ifni
Legzira beach is located between Mirleft and Sidi Ifni, and like its other Atlantic counterparts, the 8 km-long stretch of Legzira Beach is windy, rocky, and expansive. What makes Legzira unique, however, were its two mammoth stone arches. Naturally formed after years of erosion, these sedimentary giants jutted out into the perpetually crashing waves and are accessible during low-tide.
Sadly, only one of the two arches now remains. The other collapsed in late 2016, undermined by wave action. The second arch is probably also at risk of eventual collapse, as the sea continues to wear away at the fragile red sandstone from which it is formed.
Asilah Beaches, Asilah
Asilah is a charming fortified city located in the northwest of Morocco on the stunning Atlantic coast . This white city is vibrant in the summer, as Moroccans and tourists flock to its Atlantic beaches to enjoy the water and the fresh sea air.
There are many beaches to choose from both to the north and south of Asilah. However, the main Town Beach is the most obvious choice.
Sidi Kaouki Beach, Essaouira
Sidi Kaouki is a popular alternative to the nearby city of Essaouira, as it is distinguished by its splendid wild beaches and small sand dunes. Also, during the summer time, horses and camels are available to tourists for beach trips as well as sunbeds.

Martil is a Town northeast of the city of Tetouan in the Mediterranean Sea. This magnificent small town turns into an oasis of activities in the summer time when Moroccans and tourists flock to it to enjoy the splendor of its white sandy beaches, warm waters, and views of the lush green mountains.
