LEGZIRA BEACH

Legzira Beach takes the 29th place in the list of 40 most beautiful beaches in the world. Such a high praise among tourists for the beach was provided by natural clay-sand arches of red color that go straight into the ocean and washed by its steep waves. This little-known and secluded beach is located in the south of Morocco in the village of the same name that is 10 km from Sidi Ifni and 150 km from Agadir. Unfortunately, a couple of years ago, one of the 4 arches called the elephant’s collapsed, and only a pile of stones remained in its place.

Legzira is a deserted beach where there are usually few visitors. People don’t go swimming here because the Atlantic Ocean in the area of the beach is restless – the wind always blows here, and there are waves 2-3 meters high. Water in coastal waters does not heat up above 21°C due to the proximity of cold currents, so if you go into the water, it is better to do this after wearing a wetsuitand the beach is wild and undeveloped, there are no usual beach services, such as showers, bars or rental umbrellas. The beach cover, as well as the entrance to the sea, is rocky.

But it’s worth to come here to walk along the water’s edge and take pictures of stunning sea landscapes. By the way, the arches formed in the rocks are quite high – up to 20 m. You can safely walk under them. You just need to be careful because sometimes stones roll from them.

The types of arched cliffs and the ocean, which can be found only here, impress with their unearthly beauty, so Legzira beach is popular with tourists who appreciate romance and want to see unusual places. At low tide, here you can walk far along the coast and see not only the arches behind each other, but also the beach behind them.

Legzira Beach is in a remote place. You can get to it only by car, taxi or passing bus. And to get to the beach, you will still have to go down to the sea on foot from a steep slope covered with grass.
