Oued Laou Beach
شاطئ واد لاو
A Mediterranean fishing-village beach about 60 km north of Chefchaouen, with a wide sandy shore backed by the Rif Mountains, mostly visited by Moroccan families, where seafood is inexpensive.
Oued Laou sits at the mouth of the river of the same name, one of the more open beaches along the Mediterranean coast of the Rif. The water is clear, and the village fishing harbor sells fresh sardines and squid each day, which you can have grilled at small seaside restaurants. The coastal road heads east to quieter small bays such as Kaa Asras. Facilities are basic, and women are advised to dress conservatively. From Chefchaouen a grand taxi takes about 1.5 hours over winding mountain roads, or you can travel from Tetouan.
