Field Guide — 2026 Season
Blue Flag Beaches in Morocco
Morocco's certified beaches face two seas — Mediterranean coves near Al Hoceima and long Atlantic rollers at Essaouira, Agadir, and the surf coasts south. The flag here rides a national push to manage a coastline that serves both fishing towns and booming resorts.
A Blue Flag is awarded season by season for excellent bathing-water quality, safety, services, and environmental management — what a Blue Flag beach means explains the certification in full.

Field notes — quick answers

Yes — Morocco operates a national Blue Flag programme, and we currently map 38 of its beaches across 10 regions, each listed with its certification status.
What does a Blue Flag on a Morocco beach mean?
Blue Flag is an international certification awarded season by season for excellent bathing-water quality, safety, services, and environmental management. Certified Best Beaches is an independent directory and is not affiliated with or endorsed by FEE, the certifying organisation.
How current is this Morocco beach list?
Certification is seasonal, so we track the 2026 season and update listings as national juries publish changes. Beaches that hold Blue Flag certification and uncertified "Certification Candidate" beaches are always labelled separately.
