Oualidia,the lagoon
An hour north of Safi: a calm lagoon, coloured boats and well-known oysters.
A lagoon facing the Atlantic
The Oualidia lagoon is separated from the ocean by a barrier of rocks. On one side, the Atlantic waves; on the other, calm water where boats glide at high tide and sandbanks appear at low tide. Birds are everywhere.
The oysters
Oualidia is known for its oysters, farmed in the lagoon’s oyster beds. They are eaten on the spot, with sea urchins and the catch of the day.
