📍 Location
Ferdiwa Beach lies about 10 km west of Ksar Sghir, on the coast road towards Tangier, between Ghojin / Srama and Dahdaha. It belongs to the municipality of Ksar Sghir, Fahs-Anjra province.
🏖️ The beach
A small cove with clean sand, about 100 to 400 metres long, which families share with fishermen: traditional fishing boats rest on the sand, and the fishermen are part of everyday life here. That is what gives Ferdiwa its lively, authentic feel.
⛵ Fishermen and rod fishing
What sets Ferdiwa apart are the traditional fishing boats on the beach: the fishermen are part of daily life here, and their colourful boats on the sand make lovely photos early in the morning. Ferdiwa is also known among rod-fishing enthusiasts, who find a calm spot to spend hours facing the sea. The best time to fish is early morning or before sunset, on a calm day.
🌬️ Levante and Poniente
With the Levante, waves stay normal, and these are the best days for swimming and rod fishing. With the Poniente, waves get bigger, so take more care with children, and on the rocks if you are fishing. In winter the sea is rough. Check Sea today before you go.
