Ain Diab Corniche (La Corniche / Ain Diab Beach)
Best time to visit
Late afternoon into sunset for cooler air and golden light; summer evenings are lively but busier, while spring and autumn offer calmer water for swimming.
Budget tips
Public stretches of beach are free; private beach clubs typically charge 50 to 200 MAD for entry and facilities, so save money by using the public sand, bringing your own towel and snacks, and visiting outside peak hours.

Beachgoers, Couples, Photography enthusiasts, Nightlife seekers

About
Quick facts: Salt-sprayed promenades glow at sunset, where joggers pass lively cafés and cliffside pools plunge into the Atlantic. After dark the strip transforms with seafood kiosks and club lights, and weekend crowds can swell into the thousands so plan for traffic and long tables.
Highlights: At dusk the promenade's concrete terraces fill with people who leap into the churning Atlantic from waist-high ledges, timing their dives to the orange-pink sunset that bathes the water around 7:30 pm in summer. On the boardwalk a single blue tea cart draws small crowds every evening, the vendor calling out names as he pours mint tea from about half a meter up so the liquid froths and the air smells of sugar and sea salt.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable sandals and a light layer for evening breeze, plus sunscreen and a refillable water bottle.
- Position yourself on the palm-lined boardwalk at sunset for photos with the Atlantic and the Hassan II Mosque visible in the bay.
- Skip expensive beach-club entries on weekdays if on a budget, instead try small seaside restaurants for fresh seafood at lower prices.
- Arrive at least 30 minutes before sunset to find parking and avoid heavy traffic; use meter taxis or agree a fare before starting the ride.
