About Legzira Beach

Legzira Beach on Morocco's southern Atlantic coast is one of the country's most unique beaches, with a huge, stone archway naturally formed over years of erosion. During low tide, visitors to Legzira Beach can access the arch, but it is submersed again during high tide.

When to visit

The best time to visit Legzira Beach, Morocco, is from late spring to early autumn when the weather is warm and perfect for beach activities.
