Though an atmospheric city in its own right\u00a0\u2013 full of peaceful vibes, Spanish art deco flair and artsy murals, it&#8217;s the beaches that really captivate. Both far from commercialized and perfect for long walks, they&#8217;re just lovely. And the rocky cliffs above them are the perfect outpost to admire a dazzling sunset and the red-ish glow of the rocks.<\/p>\n<p>But it&#8217;s a brief walk down the cliffs that showcases one of Morocco&#8217;s most unique stretches of sand.\u00a0The magnificent thousand-year-old rock archway formed from years of erosion. Though there were actually two and one collapsed over time, the largest one still stands tall, as if encouraging visitors to gaze in amazement. During low tide you can walk under the arch and enjoy splashing around in the waves.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_24435\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24435\" class=\"wp-image-24435\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Intrepid-Travel-Morocco_Legzira-Beach-arch-distance.jpg\" alt=\"best beaches Morocco\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Intrepid-Travel-Morocco_Legzira-Beach-arch-distance.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Intrepid-Travel-Morocco_Legzira-Beach-arch-distance-425x239.jpg 425w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Intrepid-Travel-Morocco_Legzira-Beach-arch-distance-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Intrepid-Travel-Morocco_Legzira-Beach-arch-distance-585x329.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-24435\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rock-formed archway on Legzira Beach<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>How to visit:<\/strong> Visit Legzira Beach on Intrepid Travel&#8217;s NEW 8-day <strong><a href=\"\/morocco\">Morocco Atlas and Atlantic<\/a><\/strong> trip.

Why so tough? Because the town is known for its incredible surf scene. So, it&#8217;s not surprising it has some decent stretches of sand to go along with it.<\/p>\n<p>The village&#8217;s coastline is dotted with beaches, each offering up their own special set of waves. La Source has golden sands and waves fit for beginners, while Devil&#8217;s Rock is for the intermediate (beware of the stacks of rocks to one side). Feeling intimidated? Don&#8217;t.

And it&#8217;s Moulay Bouzerktoune that&#8217;s one of the prime spots for water sports.<\/p>\n<p>Essaouira is to Morocco what Chicago is to the U.S. when it comes to strong winds. Though the 18th-century ramparts enclosing the medina block most of the wind (so you can wander in peace!), the winds really make themselves felt on the main beaches. This means that Essaouira is home to some of the best kite and windsurfing around.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_24432\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24432\" class=\"wp-image-24432\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Intrepid-Travel-morocco_essaouira_horse_riding_ss159657794.jpg\" alt=\"Essaouira best beaches morocco\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Intrepid-Travel-morocco_essaouira_horse_riding_ss159657794.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Intrepid-Travel-morocco_essaouira_horse_riding_ss159657794-425x239.jpg 425w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Intrepid-Travel-morocco_essaouira_horse_riding_ss159657794-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Intrepid-Travel-morocco_essaouira_horse_riding_ss159657794-585x329.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-24432\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Exploring Essaouira&#8217;s beaches by horseback<\/p><\/div>\n<p>When you&#8217;re tired out from all manners of adventurous activities, refresh with fresh oysters and sea urchins at the fish market.

(Well, it&#8217;s a well-known beach resort for Moroccans, not international visitors.) The focal point of this small town is a sapphire-colored lagoon. Not only is this lagoon bordered by serene beaches, but the seafood to be found here is otherworldly. Oualidia is actually dubbed the oyster capital of Morocco!<\/p>\n<p>In the spring and summer months, you can spot pink flamingos in the lagoon. Year-round, travelers can walk along the pristine beaches or take a swim in the calm waters. Alternatively, venture through the lagoon on a short boat ride to the sandy island within it for some more secluded sands.<\/p>\n<h2>FAQ<\/h2>\n<h3>Are there beaches in Marrakech?<\/h3>\n<p>There are not any beaches in Marrakech, as it is located inland.
