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.

The Teranga Lions beat the Ivory Coast in the final of the Cup of the claim in the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup - CAF Qualifier.
The roar of the Lions of Teranga was heard loud and clear again throughout Africa. Screen with a terribly coherent, the National Beach Soccer team folded Senegal Côte d'Ivoire in the final of the FIFA Beach Soccer qualification to successfully defend their continental crown.
Despite having conducted a fun way in the final, beating major powers such as Nigeria or upsetting hosts Morocco in the fight for one of the squares of the World Cup semi-final, the Elephants have had little luck in Senegal. Just three minutes in, swept Koukpaki Senegalese coming with striker Cases Ngalla Sylla forward for 2-0 before the first siren.
3-0 right Balde early in the second set clear step it was evening of Senegal. Guys Diop felt absolutely strong to Brija Beach, and hit Sakanoko for 3-1 little damage on their self-confidence. In fact, only one minute after the second break, Sheikh restored the status quo on the ground and closed the scoring for Senegal.
The final whistle certified gold a new chapter in the history of football Senegalese beach. Ivory Coast may not be lucky in their dream of winning the continental throne, but their tremendous performance in El Jadida will get them a great reward: the right to represent African Beach Soccer in the next FIFA Beach Soccer Tahiti World Cup 2013, together with Senegal.
