Oualidia
Between Lagoon and Ocean
Halfway between Essaouira and Casablanca, the Atlantic folds inward to form a calm blue mirror.
Oualidia is Morocco’s quiet coast — a crescent lagoon sheltered by dunes and sea cliffs, where flamingos feed in the shallows and fishermen mend their nets by hand. The air smells of salt and seagrass, the sound is the slow rhythm of tide. It’s the perfect ending for a long southern journey — a return to water, but not to noise.
