Located 129 kilometers south of Agadir, small Mirleft may not be as well-known as its northern neighbor, but for independent travelers who don't want a full vacation, beach life in this city on the South Atlantic coast is better.
Do you want a beach but also want to explore some of the Morocco's many historical attractions? Essaouira is one of the best places to visit in the country to combine the two. The old town surrounded by central walls, with strong waterfront walls blocking the waves of the Atlantic Ocean, is a maze of glittering alleys and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The beach yawns along the coast for more than five kilometers, to the south of the ancient city walls. However, beachgoers should be aware that regular high winds along this coast make Essaouira unsuitable for sun vacations. Instead, the beach here is all about water sports. Travelers head here for windsurfing and windsurfing, with several operators both in Essaouira itself and in Sidi Kaouki, 25 kilometers to the south, offering beginner lesson packages, as well as equipment rentals.

The very small parenting wraps around a protected lake making the waters here calmer than in other resorts on the Atlantic coast. It is a great place to swim and a good and safe option for children who love to swim in the water. The crescent-shaped golden sand bay is a popular holiday destination for Moroccan families, and during the weekends in July and August it may seem that half of Casablanca (176 kilometers to the north) has landed here for a day on the beach. Come off this high season, though, you can have a lot of sand for yourself. Beach water sports operators rent paddleboards and kayaks for those who get tired of solarium, although surfing (after the breakwater in the lake) is the most popular activity.
Moulay Bousselham's curved sand spittle is located right on the edge of the city and buzzes with crowds of local holidaymakers during August. Despite its popularity, it is important to note that the beach is better for solarium than for snorkeling in the sea. Swimmers need to be careful, as here the coast is famous for its high downhill collapses. Head 15 kilometers south of the city to the other main sandstrip of Moulay Bousselham on the beach of Temara.
Again, swimming is not suitable for young children or those who are inexperienced in the water, but this beach provides good wave movement for surfers. Outside of summer, Moulay Bousselham is a small, sleepy place, where visitors are more likely to see birds in the lake and marshes in Mirja Zarga National Park rather than throwing their beach towel on the sand. It is a good option for nature-loving travelers to combine two days on the beach with bird spotting.

The large swimming pool of Rabat, which opened on the occasion of the current summer season, has become a new outlet for the region's residents to enjoy the summer holidays. The swimming pool, which is located in Yacoub Al-Mansour district on the Atlantic coast, extends over an area of 17,000 square meters, and this property has four swimming pools of different sizes for different age groups, in addition to the rest of the facilities such as clothing warehouses, food stores, and a garage for cars and bicycles. The price of entry to Rabat's large swimming pool was set at 10 dirhams, which left great relief for many visitors, especially low-income families. It should be noted that the large swimming pool of Rabat is ranked among the largest swimming pools in the world, with a water capacity of 27,000 square meters, and employs 60 guard officers, 140 swimming coaches and 50 cleaning workers. It also has a national security center and the auxiliary forces that provide security inside, in addition to civil protection vehicles and medical staff affiliated with the Ministry of Health.
The city bay is gorgeous and the soft sand beach stretches for 14 kilometers... Saidia is a new type of beach resort by preserving its Moroccan character. Wander under the eucalyptus and mimosa trees that surround the beach, sunbathe and swim in those turquoise waters that invite you to the world of rest and relaxation.
These beautiful and tranquil gardens are located on the road between Salé and Kenitra. Once the home of a wealthy French family, the gardens are well maintained and affordably priced to enter.
