Atlantic Ocean, Lagoon, Dunes, Beaches & Fresh Oysters

A wonderful, lazy day in a little-known part of the Moroccan coast. We include a boat trip to explore Oualidia's lagoon and you’ll have time for a seafood lunch, to unwind on a dune-swept beach or hire a kayak, mountain bike or walk.

Atlantic seafood lunch at your leisure

Oualidia is well off the tourist trail but well worth a visit if you fancy a lazy day on the coast as part of your stay in Morocco.

Famous for its oysters, delicious fresh seafood and splendid seawater lagoon, for most of the year Oualidia is a dreamy Atlantic fishing town. A long sand bar separates the wild Atlantic Ocean to create a tranquil and very picturesque lagoon. Nearby, the Oualidia estuary is a haven for migratory birds.

On this lazy day, we include a boat trip to explore the lagoon. You’ll have time to unwind on the dune-swept beach and, if you fancy something more energetic you can hire a kayak, mountain bike or walk along the coast.
