MIRLEFT شاطئ مرلفت
the Beaches of Mirleft, Morocco
Mirleft, Morocco is a small and sleepy fishing town peacefully set back from untouched Southern Moroccan coastline and a handful of rugged beaches some still totally wild. So laid back it’s almost horizontal, the friendly Berber town remains to attract low levels of foreign tourism and perhaps for good reason; there is not much to make up an exciting ‘things to do’ list in the town itself.
The standard itinerary Mirleft has to offer includes chilling out at one of the pristine beaches, taking long walks along the windswept coastline and ending the day with a fresh fish soup or an octopus tagine in a candle lit restaurant by the sea. Home to decent potential for outdoors activities, Mirleft tends to attract more the specialist crowds of Morocco’s tourism, like surfers, wind-surfers, hikers and rally drivers touring their way down to Dahkla .
But it’s now starting to become more developed as more money is pumped into the region and more tourism is directed from Agadir and Marrakesh. Pistes leading to beaches are slowly becoming tarmac roads while beach resorts are popping up along the previously unspoiled stretches of coastline surrounding the town.
The best places to eat are found in the small local cafés serving up tagines and grilled fish using the catch of the day (popular is always a good sign). Hotels and restaurants on the beachfronts also serve up some amazing dishes, but tend to be a little more pricey than the local grills.There are a few surf schools dotted about the different beaches offering a fun morning wake up activity, while an old French Fort built by the Foreign Legion during French occupation overlooking the town makes for a nice afternoon stroll.
It’s best to camp down in Mirleft for a few days and allow yourself time to get acquainted with the carefree spirit and tranquil setting, as opposed to just pass by with a quick visit to a beach. The more time you spend here, the more you will fall in love with it’s windswept, wild and rugged North African coastline.
Most beaches aren’t signposted and not all locals will know the beaches by their French or touristic names. It’s best to rent some form of transport and explore the different pistes connecting the beaches and coastline for a day or two. Below, we list our 5 favourite beaches in and around Mirleft, and of course, we’ve added Legzira beach (which is actually closer to Sidi Ifni, another very chilled out seaside town south of Mirleft) for good measure. We hope our directions to each beach will help you discover more of Mirlefts beauty during your visit.
The Best Beaches in Mirleft:
(All directions assume you are driving through Mirleft on the R104 in the direction towards Sidi Ifni):
Imin Tourga Beach
Pass the first cross roads as you enter Mirleft and take a right turn at the second crossroads next to the taxi rank. Follow the paved road past the police station (Gendarmerie) all the way to the beach.
Known as the “main beach,” Imin Tourga lies only 1km away from the main part of town. It’s close proximity means it’s often the most popular. The beach itself is clean and well looked after, while the coastline surrounding it has a rugged and sparse feel. Despite it being a popular choice, it’s one of the most beautiful in Mirleft and our favourite of the more popular beaches. One of the best ways to admire it all is by walking the pathways along the coastline just besides the main steps down to the beach, which provide some stunning views back over the town and coastline.
Aftas Beach
Pass the first cross roads as you enter Mirleft and take a right turn at the second crossroads next to the taxi rank. Follow the paved road past the police station (Gendarmerie) but don’t turn off for Imin Tourga Beach. Instead, keep following the road, which bears left and turns into piste. Follow through a section of broken wall and keep following this piste, it will eventually leads you to the beach. The last part of the piste taking you down to sea level is a little bumpy, but can be tackled with small car.
A small, tranquil cove with a few beach homes and hotels built right up alongside the sand. The beach offers a beautifully secluded spot away from the town, which is within easy reach at the same time, making it a great halfway retreat. An old run down building looms over the beach from the northern coastline and an interesting rock formation protrudes the shoreline to the south. There is also a section of rock face which resembles a human face just around the corner from the cove (an easy swim). The restaurant Cafe des Pecheurs serves up very decent fish based menus using the catch of the day and is best visited in the evening when the whole cove is practically solely moonlit, with only a few lights from the buildings on the beach to distract.

Kasbah Tabelkoukt
Best Kasbah in south Morocco, an amazing hotel far from the stress and noise you will find Mirleft in southern Morocco, it was once a quiet little fishing village and surfer paradise surfers in the know still visit the secluded beaches of Mirleft. Kasbah Tabelkoukt is hidden away on a cliff over one of the best beaches in the area. Simple comfortable luxury to pamper you body and mind.

Lagzira, Legzira, ou Gzira, est une plagesauvage marocaine, située dans la commune rurale de Tioughza, entre les villes de #Tiznit et #Sidi Ifni , à environ 150 km au sud d'Agadir , et à 10 km au nord de Sidi ifni . Son paysage et ses vagues sont appréciés par les randonneurs et les surfeurs.
En mars 2014 , le magazine La Nouvelle Tribune l'a classée parmi les douze plus belles plages du pays.

Morocco doesn’t spring immediately to mind when it comes to beach destinations.
Indeed, to a European used to quaint Mediterranean seaside villages and the swaying palm-fringed shores of Asia, the coast of Morocco is quite a shock. The settlements here feel a little forlorn and there is a certain ‘frontier’ edginess comparable to desert towns in the #USA , no doubt because they are remote and strung far apart from one another. Yet this slight air of desolation and dust along the coast is perhaps it’s charm. If you yearn for European beaches, go to Italy, and if coconuts are your thing then try Indonesia. But if you fancy something a little different, long empty ocean roads and secluded coves all to yourself, and aren’t bothered about frills and luxury, then you could do worse than giving the Moroccan coast a go. In particular Mirleft and Legzira beach.
We’d been travelling with Wild Morocco and having already crossed the High Atlas, traversed the Anti Atlas and explored the Ameln Valley, it was now time for a bit of salt and sea air. I was hugely excited as despite numerous visits to the country, we’d not yet made it to the coast. Not being beach bums and shuddering at the thought of sun-loungers, the rugged and little-visited #stretch of Morocco really appealed.
However I have to say our first glimpse of the coast just beyond the town of Tiznit was a bit of an anticlimax.
If you head south from Agadir, Morocco towards Sidi Ifni, just 10km out you’ll find this amazing place where nature shows off her beauty and the water and wind have carved the majestic red stone arches than extend along this sandy beach. It’s quiet her, not very touristy…you can really feel the sound of the ocean and it transports you to another world. It’s known among nature lovers and surfers, not only for its beauty, but also for its friendliness. The few hostels in the area have only been serving tourists for a short while. If you choose to stay here for a while, you won’t forget the feeling of the red mountains bathed in the roar of the surf. The colors of in the morning and at sunset are unique and unforgettable.
When it comes to natural beauty Morocco is one of the most well endowed countries in the world. Morocco is a cross road of different cultures, both Mediterranean and African.
This anachronistic oddity is the quintessential example of an ancient civilization preserved in modern times. An intricate mosaic of people, ethnically diverse yet harmoniously integrated. Morocco demonstrates multiculturalism and coexistence at their finest. Topographically, this ethereal land offers the widest spectrum of landscapes on the whole African continent.
The savvy traveler is fascinated by the shimmering kaleidoscope of colors and the splendor of geological and architectural formations, which ravish the eyes and captivates soul. The fragrance of spices, cedar wood and natural oils permeate the dry desert air. The melodic chants, a romantic tradition from the legendary Moors, the hunting spiritual calls of prayers from sumptuous minarets, and of course, the brouhaha of the souks, all are from a grand chorus that enchants the passionate ear. Traditional Moroccan cuisine, a joy for every sense, is unique blend of Mediterranean flare and African spices.
With a unrivaled diversity and an array of staple for everyone’s taste, Moroccan cuisine offers a gourmet for the sophisticated dinner to fest on also a healthy diet for the savvy nutritionist.
Welcome to Morocco, well known but yet to be discovered.
