An evening view along the coast at Skhirat

Story

Skhirat is a small Atlantic town halfway between Rabat and Casablanca, known for its long beach, its summer residences, and the royal palace that brought the capital's elite to its shore. It enters history in 1971, when a military coup attempt against King Hassan II was launched during a royal garden party at the palace — a story still whispered along the corniche. Beyond that dramatic past, it is a calm seaside place: surf spots, seafood restaurants, and a stretch of sand quieter than the big-city beaches.

This is for the weekend beachgoer and the surfer, the Rabat or Casablanca resident seeking air. It is genteel and low-key; come on a weekday for the calm, or for the small surf breaks nearby.
