Quemado beach, Al Hoceima, Morocco

The town of AL-Hoceima, built on the cliff at the western end of the bay, overlooks the beach of Quémado, which offers exceptional panoramas. This beach, located at the foot of the cliff Quémado where you can see and amazing sunset, it is undoubtedly the most interesting beach of the city and the most frequented by summer visitors (as you see in the picture below) because it’s so close to the city center, and has an excellent quality of sand, the beach is equipped with a seaside resort (Hôtel Quémado and Hôtel Mohamed V). On Quemado beach you can also rent materials to practice wind games if you are a fan of it.

People in Al Hoceima are so kind and friendly, they are Amazigh in origins, but now they speak Arabic, French, Spanish and some of them are also English speakers. You can find also many tourist guides there, and then you will have no problem asking them about places you want to see.

Transport:
Al Hoceima city have buses and taxis, but sometimes you must wait so much to take it. So because it a small city, I recommend to you to go by walking to the beach or the city center, use the transport just for long distance like if you want to go to another beach out of the city, because there are so many and every beach has a special charm.
