The Atlantic Coast of Morocco is one of the most interesting tourist areas of the country. It has attractions from the natural, cultural and artistic point of view. And of course, it offers spectacular beaches for everyone to enjoy. That is why at Chic Morocco we deal extensively with this sector of the country: we are specialists in its main destinations and we can organize any type of trip through it, whether it is a tour or a holiday break.
In the strictest sense of the term, Morocco’s Atlantic Coast runs roughly from Cape Spartel to the southern tip of the country and covers an ocean coastline of more than 1,300 km (about 2,300 km in total, if we also count the Western Sahara).
However, the northernmost part of the Atlantic coast is included in the North and Mediterranean zone.
North and Mediterranean
because of its proximity to the destinations in that area (Tangier, Tetouan, etc.). This makes it possible to set up circuits that include Atlantic coastal cities, such as Asilah or Larache.
On the other hand, Rabat, which is also bathed by the Atlantic Ocean, falls under the concept of
Imperial Cities
Rabat, which is also bathed by the Atlantic Ocean, is included in the concept of Imperial Cities, as it has a series of characteristics in common with them and enjoys communications that facilitate travel between these cities.
Therefore, from a tourist point of view, what is really considered Morocco’s Atlantic Coast is the coastal strip from Casablanca to the south. In this city and its immediate surroundings, the population density is high and the interest of the trip lies in culture and leisure.
But as we travel miles southward, the coast becomes more and more natural and its tourist destinations, more and more holiday destinations, until we reach Agadir, a true symbol of sun and beach tourism. In its surroundings, you can also find the best places for surfing and water sports in the country.
It is the most populated city in Morocco. Although its historical-artistic heritage is not as exuberant as that of other destinations in the country, it has interesting proposals for tourists who come to visit it. Especially for travelers with a premium profile, as it is considered the true economic and financial capital of Morocco.
It is one of the few Moroccan cities that can boast of being a World Heritage Site. And that is a clear sign that it has an interesting historical ensemble, built mainly by the Portuguese. An imposing maritime fortress is preserved, as well as a unique cistern and other buildings from that period.
It has also been declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco, thanks in large part to its Portuguese defensive enclosure and an 18th century walled medina that has the particularity of having been designed according to Western urban planning canons. In addition, it has a magnificent natural environment and a great sensitivity for its folklore.
Icon of Moroccan holiday tourism, it is an ideal destination for sun and beach all year round, especially in the European winter season. Although it lacks historical monuments, it has numerous resorts, a seaport and premium services, as well as a wide range of air connections at its airport, which provides it with travelers at all times of the year.
