Tamaris Beach
Golden shoreline backed by dunes rather than development, quieter than nearby resorts.

About this audio guide
This guide to Tamaris Beach in Casablanca opens with an activist's footage of a truck hauling sand away before sunrise, then widens into Morocco's fight over its own coastline. You'll hear how ordinary beach sand became one of the country's most contested resources, why researchers estimate millions of cubic meters vanish illegally each year, and how nearby Mohammedia lost its dunes to the same trade. Feel the sand underfoot here at Tamaris and you're standing in the middle of that argument, on a stretch that has so far stayed intact.
