Plage Chelihate

Family beach...despite the unpaved road

Best beach in the area, practically empty, it feels like a private beach. You can get there by boat (5 minutes across from La Marsa de Mahdia) or by car (about 40 minutes from Kenitra city center). You'll pass through two small villages by car, with very welcoming and helpful locals. There's a short drive on a dirt road, and once you arrive, it's a 10-minute walk to the beach. Many whale skeletons and large fish have washed up on this sparsely populated beach, which has a lot of plastic and other trash in some places, but it doesn't spoil the scenery. Being alone on a beach in 2025 is just WOW. So, I don't recommend it, haha ​​😂😂😂 We'll keep this place to ourselves. Please go to Plage des Nations or Drapeau Noir beach in Mahdia; both are also magnificent and peaceful spots.

The beach is somewhat "wild" as it is more difficult to access, formerly accessible by "flouka" (small boat) from the port of Mehdiya; for those with vehicles, you can reach it via the P4201 road and then by following the small P4262 road along the Sebou river, a road which is partly paved.

The beach is beautiful, but unfortunately incredibly dirty. You can't find anywhere to sit, and the flies are a nuisance! The road is terrible. There are two: one is unpaved, but the view is nice, and the other is paved, but it goes through the villages and ends in the beach! There's a decent road, with beautiful views of Oued Sabou, and the other is paved, but it doesn't reach the beach! In the summer, people camp there, but they don't care! They throw their trash everywhere! You'll find a local wilderness area, only in the summer, monitored by firefighters and gendarmes. The rest of the year it's just fishermen, so be careful, the risk of being attacked is very high! There's civil protection, but caution is necessary! The rest of the year it's just fishermen and locals, so be careful to avoid muggings.
