The city of Casablanca is well worth a visit, not only because it is the economic heart of Morocco, but also because it offers the perfect combination of leisure, tourism and culture. In this article, we tell you how to enjoy the city from another point of view, taking an in-depth look at the beaches near Casablanca. Let's get started!
Must-visit beaches near Casablanca
The protagonist of our article stretches along the Atlantic coast, so it is logical to think that there are a wide variety of beaches to visit. In addition, if you rent a car in Casablanca, you can travel from one to another without a hitch and decide which one you like best.
Here are the best beaches on the coast near Casablanca where you can go to relax and enjoy life.
Ain Diab
The beach of Ain Diab has its own personality, from which almost a way of life emerges. In fact, here you can windsurf or jet ski, or relax in one of the restaurants or beach clubs. It also one of several Moroccan beaches to have the blue flag and is a great option to go with the family.
Tamaris
The second beach not to be missed if you visit Casablanca is the one located in Tamaris, about 18 miles west of the city. This beach exudes tranquility, perfect for people seeking relaxation and synchronicity with the sea.
Lalla Meryem
Right next to the El Hank lighthouse you will find Lalla Meryem beach, where one of its main attractions is its promenade. Its proximity to the city of Casablanca makes it an ideal alternative to enjoy a day at the beach during a visit to this Moroccan city.
Mriziga
Mriziga beach is a small rocky beach located next to the Hassan II mosque. It is not the best beach for swimming out of all the beaches near Casablanca, but its location next to the mosque and the natural rugged look of the rocks make the sunsets from this spot truly spectacular.
Aïn Sebaâ
East of Casablanca lies the beach of Aïn Sebaâ, a place a little further away from where most people gather. It is an ideal beach to spend the day there, since the waves are generally very gentle. And, not being located in the heart of Casablanca, it is usually less crowded than other beaches that are closer to the city centre.
Madame Choual
Another beach you can visit if you go to Casablanca is Madame Choual beach, located next to the beach of Ain Diab. Shorter than Ain Diab beach, it is usually an attractive option for many as it is located next to the Morocco Mall, one of Casablanca's main shopping centres.
Bouznika
Moving away from the city of Casablanca, one of the most interesting beaches to visit is the bay of Bouznika, about 3 miles long. It is considered one of the cleanest beaches in Morocco, and the combination of its fine golden sand, the sea and the crescent shape it forms make it one of the most beautiful. It is also where fishermen go to fish, due to the fact that it has calmer waves than other beaches.
Sidi Rahal
Finally, we travel to the beach of Sidi Rahal, located about 25 miles from Casablanca. It is another of the Moroccan beaches to have been awarded the blue flag in recent years. It is more open to the Atlantic and there can be more wind, which means that, at certain times, the waves are also higher. However, this offers another very characteristic landscape that is worth seeing: the dunes that are often formed around the beach.
