Oued Laou Beach

Oued Laou Beach is set in a charming fishing village in northern Morocco on the Mediterranean coast. With its remote and long, empty beaches this is somewhere to relax and enjoy the tranquility. It is easy to while away the time sitting on the beach and watching the fisherman cast their nets all day long.

The beach has golden sands which stretch for many kilometers, so even in the summer you won’t have any trouble finding your own spot. You will find a few budget hotels in town; otherwise, you need to stay in one of the bigger nearby towns.

Oued Laou gets its name from the river of the same name that flows down from the Rif Mountains. If you go out for a drive, you will see rolling hills and views of the incredible coastline.

When you go to restaurants, you will love how fresh the fish is. The locals are hospitable, and you can find samples of their ceramics for sale. There isn’t much in the way of nightlife - this is a quiet town where you go to get away from it all. You can find some informal gatherings on the beach in the evenings, but this is a place to chill out, not party.
