Nestled beside a stunning lagoon with immaculate water, exceptional surf breaks, and eye-catching golden beaches, Oualidia is a serene coastal retreat for those seeking refuge from Marrakech’s bustling lanes. Over the years, Oualidia has evolved into a hot spot attracting both locals and tourists. Despite the growing crowds each year, it mainly remains a peaceful fishing community during the less busy times of the year.
Oualidia’s seaside is shielded from the powerful tides of the Atlantic by a broad sandbar that spans the lagoon’s mouth. Here, you can observe locals hunting for oysters, a variety of shellfish and fish to trade in the multitude of town markets. You have the freedom to select your desired fish and watch them being freshly barbequed on the beach.
Inland, there is a plethora of exhilarating activities. There are numerous locations perfect for mountain biking, quad biking, horseback riding, or roving around the nearby hills.
