From the Oualidia lagoon to the mouth of the Tensift, the coast around Safi runs north to south. We organise trips to each of these places.
North of Safi
About sixty kilometres north of Safi by road, Oualidia spreads around a lagoon sheltered from the ocean by a barrier of rocks.
Coloured boats, oyster beds, a calm beach on the lagoon side and white houses with blue doors.
North of Safi
North of Safi, the cape juts into the Atlantic. The lighthouse and the marabout stand side by side above the rocks.
Below, a beach of sand and rocks, lovely late in the day.
North of Safi
Between Safi and Cap Beddouza, Lalla Fatna beach stretches beneath tall cliffs. The sand is golden and the sea often lively.
The cliffs can be walked, above pastures that run down to the sea.
At the edge of Safi
Just north of the city, the Sidi Bouzid headland looks over the bay of Safi. Its beach and promenade are a few minutes’ drive from the medina.
It is the place for sunsets.
South of Safi
Thirty-six kilometres south of Safi, Souira Kedima sits at the mouth of the Tensift. A small 16th-century fort stands on the beach.
Nearby, the Portuguese held the stronghold of Aguz from 1506 to 1525. Today the beach and cliffs make it a quiet outing.
Between the coast and the interior, the fields of the Oulja near Oualidia run all the way down to the ocean. We can include them in a day on the coast.
