Oualidia is a delightful town in two parts. On the top of the hill, on the road to Casablanca is the old town, with shops restaurants and a weekly market. At the bottom of the hill is the beach village of Oualidia, with several hotels, seafood restaurants and a magnificent beach. The fascinating feature of the beach is that it consists of a large semi-circular bay that is almost entirely blocked by an island. When the tide is out a huge beach is revealed and one can walk to the island, when the tide is in the bay fills with water for very safe swimming, wind surfing and diving. Also boats will take you to the island, the boatman will even prepare lunch for you on the island's beach. In the lagoon which adjoins is an oyster farm which can be reached by boat or road, with a delightful water front restaurant. You can also visit the farm itself, and buy oysters to take away, at an incredibly low price. The beach is listed on the Internet as one of the most beautiful in the world.
