Asilah Beach

Asilah is Morocco's artistic seaside gem—a whitewashed town enclosed by 15th-century Portuguese ramparts. Each summer, the International Cultural Festival transforms the medina walls into an open-air gallery of murals. The town beach stretches south from the ramparts, while Paradise Beach (Rmilat) lies 2 km north. The relaxed atmosphere and proximity to Tangier make it a favourite weekend escape for Moroccans and a tranquil base for travellers.
