📍 Location

Dahdaha Beach lies about 15 km west of Ksar Sghir, between Ferdiwa and Oued Alian, on a stretch of coast where the hills come down to the sea. It belongs to the municipality of Ksar Sghir, Fahs-Anjra province.

🏖️ The beach

A small sandy cove, about 100 to 400 metres long, surrounded by green hills. There are seasonal kiosks in summer; restaurants and shops are in central Ksar Sghir, so most visitors bring their own food and water for the day.

⛰️ A beach framed by hills

Dahdaha is a true family beach, with hills on one side and the sea on the other, in a landscape of green and blue. This natural setting gives it a special calm, perfect for a whole day with the family between swimming, relaxing on the sand and taking in the view. The loveliest time is early morning, when the light falls on the hills and the water.

🌬️ Levante and Poniente

With the Levante, waves stay normal and good for swimming. With the Poniente, they get bigger, so stay close to the kids in the water. In winter the hills-and-sea view is still lovely for walks and photos, but not for swimming. Check Sea today before you go.
