Fodor's Expert Review Plage des Nations

This magnificent beach, also known simply as "Nations," is so long that even during the busiest times you’ll probably find some space along the stretch. The water is swimmable, but there may be strong currents, so caution should be observed. The sands are cleaned daily in summer, although some litter is possible in colder months. It's a hot spot for surfers and paragliders; sunbathers can rent parasol and loungers for reasonable prices. The beach is accessed by driving along the N1 from Salé and turning left just north of the small town of Sidi Bouknadel, or ask your hotel to organize a round-trip by taxi. Amenities: lifeguards (in season); parking; food and drink. Best for: swimming; surfing; walking.
