About This Place
Moulay Bousselham beach is a wild Atlantic beach near the picturesque fishing village of Moulay Bousselham on Morocco's Atlantic coast, north of Rabat. The beach is known for its expansive sandy shores backed by a large lagoon and wetland reserve — one of Morocco's most important bird sanctuaries — making it a wonderful spot for both beach relaxation and nature watching. Strong Atlantic currents mean swimming is best suited to confident swimmers; the lagoon side is calmer for families.
