Best sun tanning beaches in Morocco

Essaouria is windy (Morocco’s centre for kite and wind surfing) and isn’t the best beach around. At that time of year it’s not that warm either. The further south the better in April for the warmth and higher sea temps. I like the beaches down near Mirleft and around there for the weather, the lack of hordes of tourists and the stunning coast.

Please remember that Morocco is a conservative country and as such exposing alot of flesh on a beach will not only be offensive to some (if not many) locals, but will also attract allot of attention from local men who may think that due to you exposing yourself (assuming you’re a woman), you are “easy” and may pester you mercilessly.

Even in the “touristy” places where many tourists think it’s OK to blatantly disregard the local customs and cultures, an element of modesty is essential and is the best way avoid a situation where locals think all tourists are insensitive and ignorant and, as a result, treat us as such.

Sorry about the preaching my friend, but there are quite a lot of bad feelings regarding the subject of tourists and “modesty” in Morocco, especially in places like Marrakesh and the day trip destinations around it. I just want to make sure both you and the locals are comfortable with each other.

I will be traveling around Morocco in April and would like to spend sometime at the beach. I had planned on Essaouria but have been told it is to windy. What about El-Jadida or Qualidia. Can anyone recommend the best place.
