Smir reservoir, upstream of the lagoon within the same Ramsar wetland site
Story
Near M’diq, the Smir wetland system links a coastal lagoon and marshes with a reservoir upstream. Together they form a Ramsar site on Morocco’s Mediterranean coast.
The lagoon and reservoir are distinct habitats. Plan a quiet visit from permitted access points, keep away from nesting birds and reed beds, and confirm local access before travelling. Water levels and bird sightings vary.

There is no fixed promise to reach an isolated beach; the product remains worthwhile if conditions limit it to a ridge and village-edge circuit.
