Mestassa Beach offers a broad, inviting canvas of fine, pale sand, a stark and beautiful contrast to the deep blue of the Mediterranean. This expansive stretch provides ample room for children to chase the receding tide, for sunbathers to spread their towels without crowding, and for anyone to simply breathe in the fresh, salty air.
“Mestassa's expansive sandy terrain provides a rare and accessible open-coast experience between Al Hoceima's urban beaches and the more isolated park coves.”

The shoreline here is gentle, with a gradual slope into the water, making it a safe and appealing spot for families with young swimmers. You'll find the rhythm of local life unfolding around you, from fishermen mending nets to families picnicking under the shade of a makeshift umbrella.
Beyond its immediate charm, Mestassa fills a crucial niche, bridging the gap between the more developed city beaches and the secluded, often harder-to-reach coves. It's an accessible slice of Moroccan coast, offering both convenience and a genuine sense of escape.
