Situated to the west of Casablanca, away from the hustle and bustle of the city center, Madame Choual beach has a more unspoilt setting and a relaxed atmosphere.
It attracts lovers of wide open spaces, walkers in search of peace and quiet and board sports enthusiasts. Here, there’s no concrete seafront and no crowds: just the ocean, the sand and an unobstructed view of the Atlantic horizon.
In this article, you’ll find our photos and tips for making the most of your visit to Casablanca’s Plage Madame Choual.

Is Plage Madame Choual worth it?
Madame Choual beach is well worth a visit if you’re looking for a more peaceful, natural atmosphere than the classic urban beaches. It stretches along the edge of an unspoilt coastline, with a beautiful stretch of sand and an often lively sea, ideal for walking or watching the waves. Less developed, it offers a different experience: rougher, more authentic, but also less touristy.
Type of beach
Sand or no sand?
The ground is mostly sand, sometimes mixed with pebbles depending on the area. If you like to walk barefoot or put down your towel for a quiet break, you’ll easily find a pleasant spot.
Swimming conditions and supervision
Swimming is possible, but not recommended on certain days due to the currents and sometimes powerful waves. It’s also a well-known spot for surfing and bodyboarding. The beach is not always supervised, especially out of season, so caution is advised, especially with children.
Installations
We didn’t spot any showers or toilets on the beachfront.
Nor are there any facilities for visitors.

Public transport access
The beach is not directly served by public transport. It’s best to take a cab or streetcar to the surrounding area, then walk about 15 minutes to reach the beach. The site is not yet part of the mainstream tourist circuit, which is another of its attractions.
Special features
Dog
We didn’t see any signs prohibiting dog access to the beach.
Reduced mobility access
There are no special facilities for disabled access.
With children
The beach can be fun for the whole family, especially for running on the sand or watching the surfers. However, the lack of facilities and supervision makes it less suitable for younger children.
Naturism
It is not possible to practice naturism on this beach.
Other restrictions: camping, fire
As on most urban beaches, camping and fires are prohibited. We recommend that you observe these rules to preserve the environment and keep this popular beach clean. The local authorities ensure that these rules are respected.
Eating out
There are no restaurants or snack bars directly on the beach. If you’re going to be there for several hours, remember to take some drinks and snacks with you. For a real meal, you’ll have to head back to Aïn Diab or downtown Casablanca, where there’s no shortage of options.
