Plage Sfiha

Description

Plage Sfiha is one of those spots that catches you off guard. It’s not overly polished or stuffed with tourist traps, which, let’s be honest, can be a breath of fresh air these days. The wide shoreline stretches out invitingly, perfect for those who want to wander barefoot, feel the sand shift beneath their toes, and just soak in the salty breeze without the usual hustle you'd find at bigger resorts. There’s a distinct energy here, but it’s more laid-back and approachable than frantic. You get a real sense that this beach isn’t just a postcard—it’s a lived-in, enjoyed place where locals and travelers blend naturally.

One of the standout features, at least in my eyes, is the cafe perched nearby. It’s a cozy spot, the kind where you can nurse a mint tea or sip on a coffee while gazing out over the water. The views? They don’t disappoint. Across the horizon, you’ll spot the island of Al Hoceima, a silhouette that changes hues throughout the day—from soft morning pastels to a dramatic twilight glow. It’s one of those quiet spectacles that makes you pause, take a deep breath, and appreciate where you are.

Though the beach hums with activity during the day, it’s not overwhelming. Families, couples, and solo adventurers all seem to find their own niche here. At times, you’ll spot fishermen hauling in their catch or locals chatting animatedly, a reminder that this isn’t a contrived tourist zone but a genuine slice of Moroccan coastal life. That said, it’s also not completely off-the-grid—there’s a lively spirit that keeps things interesting without ever feeling too crowded.

From my own little experience wandering here, what sticks in my head is how the atmosphere shifts with the seasons. In summer, it can get lively and, yeah, you might scramble for a good spot, but that’s part of the charm. Outside peak months, it transforms into a peaceful retreat, where the only sounds are the waves and your own footsteps. If you’re looking for a beach with character, simple pleasures, and a hint of adventure, Plage Sfiha has a decent claim to fame.
