Oualidia and its lagoon

The excursion

200 km north of Essaouira, Oualidia is a turquoise lagoon sheltered from the ocean by a rocky bar: calm water, fishing boats, flamingos in season and Morocco's best oysters, served at the water's edge.

A long day (about 2 h 30 each way), via Safi if you wish. You choose the departure time; the driver waits for you and brings you back in the evening.
