💡 Tips

The main beach gets crowded on summer weekends with locals from Rabat. Visit on a weekday for a more relaxing experience.
The Atlantic currents can be strong; always swim in designated areas where lifeguards are present.
Parking near the beach can be difficult during peak season; arrive early or use the paid parking areas belonging to the larger hotels.
While it's a beach town, Skhirat is quite prestigious. Dress modestly when walking away from the immediate beach area.
