Beach description
Blanche Beach is nestled in the heart of the ecological park of Morocco. Reaching Plage-Blanche is an adventure in itself, as you will need to embark on a 320 km journey, traversing the Sahara Desert, winding past lush oases, solitary settlements, and towering cliffs.
The serenity of Plage-Blanche is unparalleled, with its calm and deserted shoreline. The shallow waters meet an enchanting sea view that instills a sense of complete isolation and seclusion. Signs of human life are sparse, with only the occasional old fishing hut dotting the landscape. Plage-Blanche is a true escape from the bustling city, where tranquility is only interrupted by the gentle lapping of waves on the shore and the rare sight of a flamingo gliding above. This remote beach is cradled by an ecological park spanning approximately 250 square kilometers, virtually untouched by human influence, devoid of any signs of civilization and infrastructure.
Often referred to as the soul of Morocco, Plage-Blanche is open, endless, and radiant. Among tourists, the route to Plage-Blanche remains a hidden gem, which may explain the solitude that graces its sands.
