What to take with you

WHAT DO I NEED TO TAKE WITH ME?
Here are some of the must-haves we suggest you bring: sunscreen (waterproof), sunglasses, hat/cap, beach towel, flip-flops.
DO I NEED TO BRING MY OWN TOWELS?
We provide you with shower towels, but you will need to bring your own beach towel or take a towel for rent.
WHAT CLOTHES SHOULD I BRING WITH ME?
Morocco is a liberal Muslim country, in the area we are in it is not uncommon for men and women to dress in shorts and T-shirts. On the beach you will see men in bathing shorts and women in bikinis, but there is no nudity here. Bring plenty of beachwear and we suggest you also bring a pair of jumpers and jeans for the evening, as the temperature drops a bit at this time, especially in winter.
